AUSTIN, TEXAS, USA (March 24, 2008) - Planning its first Asian conference-Asian Hospitality Finance & Technology Conference-Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP(R)) has worked hard to create a conference fitted to Asian hospitality professionals.

"HFTP has a global reputation for providing superior professional education in finance and technology, so it is only fitting to have the Asian Hospitality Finance & Technology Conference be a part of FHA 2008," said Ting Siew Mui, project director of lifestyle events for Singapore Exhibition Services Pte Ltd, organizer of FHA 2008. "With education from HFTP, combined with the largest international food and hospitality trade event in the Asia-Pacific region, this conference is a can't-miss opportunity."

The conference consists of a financial and a technology track, with topics like the future of hospitality technology, retention practices in the hospitality industry, technology convergence in hotels and more.
