Welcome to HOTEC Operations & Technology North America

February 25-28, 2013

Venue to be announced

2013 will celebrate the tenth anniversary of HOTEC. This event has and will continue to remain the premier meeting forum in the hospitality industry. In 2012, HOTEC Operations expanded to HOTEC Operations & Technology to better serve the needs of attending delegates.

This 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.

How successful is HOTEC?

The Concept

The concept of HOTEC North America was created by Questex-Mclean 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.

HOTEC Around the World

Questex-Mclean 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.
