Become A Member

HTNG membership provides the opportunity to define, develop, implement, and promote the next generation of hotel technology.  Membership in HTNG is open to any person or organization with an interest in advancing information technology in hospitality.  The HTNG by-laws establish three classes of membership, and one subclass, as follows:

  • Hospitality Members:  Organizations that actively provide hospitality services to end consumers as a primary business, or individuals currently employed by such organizations.  Only Regular Members are eligible to run for officer and director positions in HTNG.  Membership is per individual ($300 per year) or per company ($3,000 per year for the entire company or $1,500 per year for five individuals).

  • Corporate Industry Partner Members:  Organizations who provide technology and/or distribution-related products and/or services to the hospitality industry.  Membership applies to the entire organization. For 2009, the rates are $3,000 for regular membership, $6,000 for Platinum membership for companies with under $100 million in annual revenue, $7,500 for Platinum membership for companies with $100 million or more in annual revenue, and $50,000 for Benefactor membership.

  • Industry Partner Members (Reduced Rate):  Service consultants who work in companies (including affiliates) with fewer than five employees are eligible for a reduced-rate individual membership for $300 per year.  This membership is not available to employees of companies who offer technology products or technology-based services.

  • Allied Members:  Individuals whose interest in the industry is fundamentally informational rather than economic, including specifically but not limited to students, academics, media representatives, and representatives of trade organizations; but specifically excluding individuals who qualify for other membership categories.  Membership is $50 per year, and applications subject to approval of HTNG.  Media memberships are complimentary to approved media representatives, and a special student rate of $15 per year applies to full-time students enrolled in accredited hospitality or technology programs.  Professional and trade associations can qualify for a free membership based on reciprocal interest.
