. The Agenda Will Address Buying and Selling Hotel Technology in Europe and the Middle East . �We are extremely pleased with the caliber of the speakers we have been successful at recruiting for this conference,� said Douglas C. Rice, Executive Director of HTNG. �Every hotel technology vendor and every global and regional hotel company we talk to has unique stories about the challenges of dealing with Europe�s fragmented hotel technology market. Our Thought Leadership program has put together a set of topics and speakers that we think will be useful to every company that does business in the Europe and Middle Eastern markets � whether as buyer or as seller of technology. Perhaps even more important, there will be lots of ideas on the table for how, as an industry, we can achieve more rapid progress in the adoption of next-generation technologies.� Speakers in the general session and Thought Leadership Program include the following industry leaders:
Attendance at the event is estimated to exceed 150 industry leaders, many of them traveling from Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, and even Australia. �Even before we announced the speakers and agendas, we had well over 100 people registered for this event from around the world, and our hotel blocks are now nearly sold out,� said Rice. Attendees who register too late to book rooms in the HTNG hotel block should still be able to find accommodations at other hotels in the area. Like all HTNG conferences, the European event will include extensive opportunities for networking among the leaders in the hotel technology community, both buyers and sellers.
