Industry�s First CIO Summit

ATLANTA � June 20, 2002 � Hospitality Upgrade magazine, the technology source, will produce the hospitality industry�s first CIO Summit on September 4-5, 2002, at the Hotel du Pont in Wilmington, Del. The prestigious two-day event will gather 25 chief information officers (CIOs) from the industry�s leading companies.
