HTNG membership provides benefits both for hotel companies and vendors that want to actively define and implement the next generation of technology; for those who cannot or do not wish to participate actively but who want to influence it; and for those who simply want to be aware of what it will look like so that they can plan and budget accordingly.   To join HTNG, click here.

What benefits can you expect?  The following benefits are available to all members unless noted otherwise.

• Logon credentials to the HTNG private collaboration website.  This website houses all meeting notes, working papers, and specifications developed by HTNG workgroups.
