for GUESTROOM 2010, LODGING magazine and Hospitality Upgrade magazine.
"LODGING magazine is delighted to partner with HFTP in this original and innovative program," said LODGING Publisher Bob Ryan. "GUESTROOM 2010 goes straight to the heart of LODGING magazine's mission of providing hotel owners and operators with access to new and vital issues and ideas. We commend HFTP for its vision in shaping the future of the hotel experience, and are confident that LODGING provides the ideal environment to deliver its message."
Hospitality Upgrade magazine is HFTP's exclusive affiliated technology publication, as well as a GUESTROOM 2010 printed media sponsor. Hospitality Upgrade's President and Publisher Richard Siegel said, "Recognized as the leading technology magazine published for hotel, travel and foodservice professionals, Hospitality Upgrade is committed to shaping and defining the future of the hospitality technology industry. GUESTROOM 2010 will be an important reference for our industry and we are thrilled to be a part of it." "Our goal is that GUESTROOM 2010 will be an important reference for the industry and we plan to include non-traditional types of technology including lighting, fabrics and furniture, as well as more traditional technology like new generation televisions, phones, and maybe even robots," said Frank Wolfe, CAE, HFTP executive vice president and CEO. "We are conducting a global search, and are counting on industry experts to help us identify and display the consummate collection of new technologies to come." Hospitality technology suppliers, consumer technology companies, inventors and others who have a technology product that should be considered for display in this pavilion can apply at the GUESTROOM 2010 web site until April, 26, 2006. HFTP has assembled an independent panel that will review applications and select the products to be included in both GUESTROOM 2010 and its accompanying technology pavilion.
