AUSTIN, TEXAS (May 14, 2007) - After a successful inaugural conference
in February 2007, Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP®)
announced today that it will host the 2008 European Hospitality Technology
Educational Conference (EHTEC) February 10-12, 2008 at the Hilton Amsterdam
Hotel in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The boutique conference will offer
two full days of focused technology education and excellent networking
opportunities with European hospitality professionals.
"EHTEC 2007 far exceeded my expectations," said Mike Preston, managing director at Prismea Consulting Ltd. and an attendee at the inaugural EHTEC. "It was a valuable use of my time combining some informative presentations from top speakers with first class networking." EHTEC 2008 is brought by the producers of HITEC - Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference - the world's largest hospitality technology show of its kind. The EHTEC Advisory Council, a group of Pan-European hoteliers, consultants, press and educational institutions, will develop a program that will focus on the most pressing challenges facing hospitality technology in Europe. "Conferences like EHTEC help you build an industry network, which is already 50 percent of the journey to success," said Marco Bartelsman, I.T. director for the Park Plaza Hotels Europe and an attendee at the inaugural EHTEC. "I definitely look forward to the next EHTEC." EHTEC premiered February 18-20, 2007 at the Hilton Amsterdam Hotel in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The education program included speakers such as Michael Levie, partner and CEO of Onestarisborn (OSIB) Operations Holding, and Keith Gruen, founder of Fidelio Property Management Systems (PMS).
