Eleven Wireless, hospitality's leading software platform for managing online guest services, announces the creation of a new Hospitality Industry Advisory Board. Comprised of veteran hospitality executives, this newly formed Board will provide Eleven's Leadership Team and Board of Directors expertise and guidance on new product and go-to-market initiatives.

According to Dan Meub, Eleven's CEO, "We are extremely fortunate to have such experienced and talented individuals join the Eleven team. We look forward to working with the Hospitality Advisory Board, and taking advantage of their skills and knowledge. They will serve us well by providing an experienced perspective and important voice from our customer's viewpoint."

The Hospitality Advisory Board held their first meeting on August 18, 2011. During this meeting they discussed ways to drive more business from Eleven's installed base and provided feedback and improvements in upcoming new products and marketing initiatives. The team plans to meet 3 to 4 times per year to continue strategizing ways to grow the Eleven brand.
