Red carpet rolled out for VIP exhibition attendees

The first ever Hospitality Technology EXPO will take place on 5 and 6 February 2013 at Earls Court in London.

The event, designed for the European hospitality technology community, includes an exclusive VIP programme of learning sessions, peer-to-peer networking events and unrivalled sourcing opportunities throughout the inaugural event in February.

A flexible programme is on offer where guests can tailor their own event experience, with topics including social media, IT security, distribution, revenue management, sustainability, in-room multimedia technologies, global growth and cost-saving.

VIP case studies and roundtable discussions will focus on:

• Touch technology – how mobile booking devices are changing the dynamics of hotel bookings.

• Managing the multi-media, multi-device guest.

• Can guest reviews drive rate improvements?

• Hotel in a box – how cloud computing reduces cost of ownership

• Is your technology impacting bottom line profitability?

Claudia Harris, event manager of the Hospitality Technology EXPO, said: “We couldn’t be more pleased with the way the VIP programme for our inaugural exhibition has come together. Without a doubt it will attract the best of the European hospitality technology community.

“Decision makers, budget holders and influencers are switching on to the fact that hospitality technology is no longer a luxury, but rather, a necessity that drives a business forward,” she added.

“With exclusive access to the industry’s leading minds, tremendous networking opportunities and a host of exhibitors whose mantra is ‘drive revenue, reduce costs,’ we’re confident interested participants won’t fail to see the unparalleled return on investment that HTE offers VIP attendees.”
