Holding Pre-conference Event at HITEC 2002 |
| May 15, 2002 - The 2001 HITEC conference marked
the first year that HITA held a pre-conference think-tank that formed the
basis for presentations developed around the topics and results of the
think-tank. HITA will hold the second annual think-tank as a pre-conference
event at HITEC 2002 and will present the findings in two conference sessions.
It is HITA's goal, through this conference format, to establish a trend
for the presentation of timely research at the HITEC conference and promote
the research objectives of the organization.
The session topics for this second annual think tank are: "Managing the IT Relationship Between Franchise Properties and the Corporate IT Function" and "Managing the IT Relationship in Other Functional Areas of the Organization" If you have not participated in such a "think tank" in the past, you will find the sessions interesting and enlightening. The session starts with a brief outline of the subject and goals of the session. We utilize the nominal group technique as our control process, producing a ranked list of issues related to specific questions posed to the group that frame the major topics. There is no preparation necessary on your part prior to the session and the process alone generally stimulates good collegial discussion. The schedule of HITA events is as follows:
HITA will present the following sessions at HITEC: �The Digital Divide Revisited: A Practical
Guide for the Hospitality Industry�
�Managing the IT Relationship Between Franchise
Properties and the Corporate IT Function�
�Managing the IT Relationship in Other Functional
Areas of the Organization�
The purpose of the Hospitality Information Technology
Association is "to advance the interaction between IT educators, vendors
and users with the goal of improving both the quality of education and
the technology itself." Membership is open to anyone interested or
employed in hospitality operations, education, or technology.
