News for the Hospitality Executive |
ATLANTA –February 9, 2011
– Hospitality Upgrade, the leading technology magazine
published for
hotel, travel and foodservice professionals, plans to welcome the
largest crowd
ever for its seventh annual Executive Vendor Summit, April 13-15, 2011.
This
year hosted at the Wyndham
Tampa Westshore in Tampa, Fla., the Executive Vendor Summit is an
invitation-only event limited to presidents and C-level executives of
technology vendors actively involved in the hospitality industry. The
two-day
conference is sponsored by Hospitality Financial and Technology
Professionals
(HFTP) and expects to draw a record crowd of more than 60 executives
representing the industry’s major technology providers. “This
event has grown every year, and though it might seem strange since
the attendees are presidents and CEOs of companies that provide
technology to
the industry and does not include any prospects to sell to, those who
attend return
year after year. Why? In
an industry based on cooperation as much as
competition, we offer attendees representing companies as diverse as
electronic
locking solutions, property technology and distribution systems--and
everything
in between--an unbeatable combination of networking, social events and
program,”
said Hospitality
Upgrade President & Publisher Richard Siegel. The
Executive Vendor Summit
offers attendees the chance to meet their peers on a personal level and
find
out how they are tackling the same challenges. They are free to form
critical
relationships and discuss and debate current issues in a relaxed
environment. When
past attendees were asked, “What
would you say to your peers who have not attended the Executive Vendor
Summit
before?” they said:
There
is no charge to attend the Summit, but only one attendee is
allowed per company. If you are a technology vendor to the hospitality
industry
and are interested in attending, please e-mail Kate O’Neil at [email protected]
or call (678) 802-5304. The Executive Vendor Summit is an invitation-only event limited to presidents and C-level executives of technology vendors actively involved in the hospitality industry.
