HITEC 2009 Online Registration Opens Early
NOVEMBER 25, 2008. Providing more flexibility for attendees, online attendee registration for the 2009 Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference (HITEC(R)) opens earlier than ever.
Register today on www.hitec.org. HITEC 2009, a service of Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP(R)), is the world's largest hospitality technology exposition and conference. The conference is June 22-25 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif. USA.
'This is the earliest we've made HITEC registration available,' said Frank Wolfe, CAE, CEO of HFTP. 'With the current uncertainty of the economy, we wanted to offer more flexibility to potential attendees. They now have a larger window to register as their budgets allow - whether it's before their budget year-end or as business improves in the coming months.'
HITEC attendee Kristen Limbacher, managing director for ProTempIT Ltd. describes the conference by saying, 'If you want to know what is in and what is out in hospitality technology, if you want to meet and network with leading specialists in their field, if you want to have a great time getting enthusiastic about technology in hospitality ---| then go to HITEC.'
HITEC 2009 offers a unique combination of top-notch hospitality technology education, led by industry peers and experts, and an unparalleled trade show showcasing the latest hospitality technology products and services from over 300 companies. Education sessions address timely topics like green technology, social media, bandwidth and revenue management in a changing economy. The trade show features extended hours on Tuesday, along with the Club Technology Pavilion, the FAVE Awards and a new version of GUESTROOM 20X. In response to attendee feedback, HITEC is adding a Closing Reception, immediately following the Closing Session on Thursday evening. This allows attendees and vendors to gather one last time during the conference.
Attendee registration is now available on the web site. Registrations made through the web site receive an immediate acknowledgement via e-mail. HITEC Housing Bureau is available in mid-December, while HITEC exhibitor registration is available in April 2009.
