“I have been involved with HFTP for over a decade, participating in global-level resources such as HITEC and the association’s broad network of hospitality technology professionals,” said Ted Horner, the managing director of E Horner and Associates. “I want to now help establish those benefits here at home with a specific Australian focus.”
