This exclusive and free collaborative event is available to qualified senior level corporate hotel IT executives only, and enables them to share experiences and perspectives on their greatest challenges. HTNG creates conference agendas with a focus on helping hoteliers who need a better understanding of business issues that technology can address, as well those who want to stay current on the technologies that drive the business.

Additional Opportunity for Senior Level Hotel Technologists: Hotel CIOs, IT Directors, regional heads and equivalent senior-level corporate technologists are also eligible to participate in the Hotel IT Leaders' Roundtable, immediately following the main Conference on Thursday afternoon. This afternoon-long, hotelier-only session creates a real-time agenda determined by the attendees. Details about this no-cost meeting can be found on HTNG's website.
For Technologists: The conference will be preceded by two members-only meetings focusing on more technical aspects of software, hardware and networking solutions. HTNG's Infrastructure and Device Forum and Software Forum meetings will occur on Tuesday, just prior to the conference. Details about the agendas for these meetings can be found on HTNG's website.
