HOTEC Design 2009, the 6th annual meeting forum for the Hospitality Industry, is a very unique opportunity to build relationships with some of the key decision makers in a relaxed environment conducive to business discussions in a series of one-on-one meetings.
The 3-day forum consists of a series of pre-scheduled appointments, with numerous networking opportunities to do business and exchange ideas with the leaders in the market who influence the future of the hospitality industry.
All attendees stay at the same 5-star resort so you network during the breakfasts, lunches and dinners with further networking opportunities during the vendor showcase and social program.
The ratio of buyers and designers to vendors is strictly controlled. The number of suppliers attending from each category is also limited to ensure limited competition and a wide range of products and service.
80 senior decision makers of design and development from major hotels, resorts, casinos, cruise lines and design, purchasing and management companies - all corporate decision makers responsible for several properties through North America and worldwide. The buyers and designers who are invited to HOTEC are carefully selected and pre-qualified.
90 vendor companies - from over 25 categories including: Art & Décor, Architectural & Construction Materials, Bathroom Equipment, Bed & Window Treatments, Carpeting, Fabric, Fixtures, Flooring, Furniture, Lighting and other FF&E (Fixture, Furniture & Equipment) related products.

The concept of HOTEC North America was created by McLean Events in 1996 through a series of highly focused industry forums for senior executives and leading suppliers from specific markets, wishing to talk business in a more focused fashion.
Meeting in 5 star facilities away from the distractions of trade shows, made these forums uniquely different and today they are regarded as the premier industry events within their respective markets.
McLean Events was launched in Europe in 1996 and the concept was then introduced in Asia in 2001 followed by North America and the Middle East in 2004.
