CHICAGO -- A robust agenda of current issues and emerging technologies awaits hospitality industry technology leaders next week in Budapest at the European Hotel Technology Conference. "Hoteliers who have attended our past conferences have raved about the quality of the content, and this year will be no exception," said Douglas Rice, Executive Vice President and CEO of event producer, HTNG, a nonprofit association serving the hotel industry. "With the engagement our association has from top technologists from hotels and tech vendors, we are able to deliver the highest quality content, rather than simply filling panels with sponsoring vendors, as many commercial conferences do." Strategy-focused sessions on the agenda for Wednesday and Thursday, 22-23 October, include:
Additionally, industry participants wishing to learn more about specific technologies will benefit from the newly added "Tech Day" sessions on Tuesday 21 October, including:
