What The Delegates Said About Last Year's Event
"I found it one of the best ways to make meaningful contact with vendors who could help our company. Typical trade shows are just not the venue for in-depth conversation targeted questions and meaningful answers. "
Sue Wade, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company
"I met with more decision makers in the industry in 3 days than I could have traveling for 6 months."
Suzie Mears, KWC America Inc
"Good venue to learn and share information about this ever evolving hospitality industry. Great opportunity for everyone to be on the same level...."
Yvonne Nicholson, Marriott International
"HOTEC Design was a great experience. I was able to meet with buyers that I would not be able to otherwise. The dedicated time and exposure to so many people in a fun atmosphere was priceless. "
Andi Longsworth, WinterMoon / The Lee Collections
"Much more rewarding that the usual design shows that tend to be overwhelming with too many suppliers."
Eleanor Miller, HPI / Sandals Resorts
"HOTEC still delivers the best possible venue for the premier buyers and vendors in the hospitality industry to meet. A great conference. "
David Isaacs, Formica Corporation
"The relationships that are newly made or strengthened during these meetings are invaluable to both parties. You just cant get this quiet uninterrupted face time at large hospitality exhibitions."
Cathie Pritchard, Higgins Purchasing Group
"Hotec 2008 was one of the most fantastic shows I have participated in. Best quality of buyers at any show and all people networked together nicely."
Ann Brown, Savannah Mills Group Llc
"I made more solid contacts in two days than I could make in two months of prospecting vendors. HOTEC does an outstanding job of bringing the buyers that make the decisions and the vendors that make the difference together resulting in long-lasting beneficial business and personal relationships."
Jim Sichta, Broughton Hospitality Group
"Certainly one of the best networking occasions I have ever participated in. Everybody is there for the exact same reason and therefore it is understood and expected."
Thomas Lum, StaiArt International Ltd
"This event is extremely useful to me as a buyer. The meeting sessions allow me to explore what a vendor has to offer in a setting where I am not competing with other buyers unlike a traditional trade show floor."
Lynnette Gannaway, Choice Hotels International
"HOTEC still reigns supreme in its ability to attract renowned buyers in one locale. This is such a huge benefit for vendors to achieve this much sought after face to face time"
Tony Lopez, Panaz USA Inc
