AUSTIN, TEXAS—Hospitality technology products and solutions are all in one location at the 2010 Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference (HITEC). The conference and exhibition provides easy access to vendors and experts for those looking for new technology and those needing to make the best of what they already have. Qualified buyers can take advantage of this smart business opportunity with complimentary exhibit hall passes, now available. HITEC 2010, a service of Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP), is the world’s largest hospitality technology exposition and conference, with an approximately 150,000-square-foot exhibit hall. The event will be held June 21 to 24 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.
“HITEC is all about how technology can improve the profitability of a business in hospitality,” said Cheryl McGinty, partner marketing manager for TeleAdapt, Inc., 2010 HITEC exhibitor. “HITEC provides a forum for new ideas to be shared and a place where new hospitality technologies are presented to the industry in a meaningful way, which is why you will find TeleAdapt at the show every year.”
“The beauty of HITEC is that you can find and compare hospitality technology products and solutions in real time,” said Frank Wolfe, CAE, CEO of HFTP. “If you are looking at a demo and your sales contact explains that no other product has a specific feature, you can easily walk around the exhibit hall and check with their competitor. That’s not something you can do back at your office.”
Complimentary Passes Available
Certain qualified buyers are eligible for a complimentary exhibit hall pass. Qualified buyers include professionals employed by hotels, resorts, casinos and clubs. Passes cannot be used by vendors/suppliers, consultants, exhibitor staff, or the family, board members, subsidiaries/parent companies, dealers, distributors, resellers, business partners/associates or investors of exhibiting companies. The deadline to submit the online registration form for approval is May 14. All complimentary show pass registrations are subject to approval by HFTP.
HITEC 2010 offers attendees a one-stop shop for essential education, access to experts and hospitality technology vendors, networking with top leaders in the industry and the resources to find cost-effective ways to improve company bottom lines. This year’s exhibit hall also features the newest version of GUESTROOM 20X, a special exhibit showcasing the most innovative technologies for the guestroom.
