Welcome to HOTEC Europe

Corinthia Hotel, St Petersburg, Russia

3rd - 6th October 2012

HOTEC Europe is a highly focused hotel industry forum for senior executives wishing to talk business in a more targeted fashion.

The unique one-to-one meeting forum brings together purchasing, operations and technical directors of leading hotel chains, to meet by appointment with the industry's leading national and international supplier companies over three days.

A Review of HOTEC Europe 2011

The 5th to the 8th October marked the thirteenth European HOTEC event; it brought together buyers and suppliers in an innovative three-day program of one-to-one meetings, allowing delegates to talk business and network with their peers in a way that is simply not possible with traditional trade shows and conferences.

This year's event hosted 100 key supplier companies covering over 40 product categories. Eighty buyers from all facets and areas of hospitality sat for 20 minutes with each requested product supplier gaining insight and sharing knowledge. Each day was planned in a way that allowed attendees to meet, either through arranged meetings or through some of the special team building activities and meals.

A great event for meeting new and existing suppliers in a relaxed and business like atmosphere.
