Conference Overview

• HTNG already holds two annual conferences, in Europe and North America, which represent the largest and most senior-level gatherings of the hotel technology community – in fact many Asia-based hotel technologists travel to attend one or both every year! Now HTNG is coming to Asia, and our first Asian conference will feature some of the region’s most recognized executives, many of whom have been active HTNG participants for years.

• CIOs, CTOS, specialists, regional technology executives, senior members of the vendor community, and others regularly rate the HTNG conferences as best for

  • Networking with peers

  • Thought leadership

  • Identifying new technology opportunities and solutions in a non-commercial environment

• HTNG is the meeting place where hoteliers gather with each other and with technology vendors, to define and develop solutions for the most vexing technology problems facing hotels. Virtually every major hotel group and technology vendor support HTNG’s efforts at the most senior management levels. A non-profit organisation, HTNG exists solely to help hotels, and its board of directors consists exclusively of top-level hotel technology executives from around the world.
