Welcome to HOTEC Design North America

"I just wanted to thank you for the great job you did at HOTEC this year. Your hard work, as well as the entire HOTEC team, made this year’s event even better than the last. You are a lot of fun! I met with so many wonderful suppliers that I have developed new relationships. I have already heard from several of the suppliers and will continue to work with them. From the meetings, events, and networking to the whale watching and formal dinner, I really thought it was an outstanding year at HOTEC. Thank you again. I look forward to talking to you soon."

"Thank you again for the wonderful opportunity in attending the HOTEC event. It was a great experience and I look forward to hearing from the suppliers I met with while there."

ERIKA ZOELLER - LEED AP, KNA DESIGN

"I am happy that I’ve attended and spent some time with each vendor. I’ve learned some and walked away with some inspirations, too. I have made some requests and shared honest project information. As you’ve reminded of communicating openly and honestly with each vendor, I’ve done exactly that: sharing the process. I’ve look forward for their follow ups on product information and samples soon. I appreciate your effort and your associates for the smooth coordination. Most of all, I appreciate vendors’ commitments and their generosity."

D.B. KIM - ASSOCIATE PRINCIPAL, PIERRE-YVES ROCHON

"Susan and I were discussing the fact that we are planning on using some of these vendors and that we should make mention to them that we enjoyed meeting them face-to-face, and to let them know what PO's are coming their way. I felt lucky to be included in the attending crowd and made many new contacts on both sides; an Architect who we would love to work with and a Purchasing agent who made us laugh till we cried!! :) The events around the meetings were perfect for just getting to know people personally, which is always our favorite way to work, with friends! Thanks again, we truly enjoyed our experience and will be in touch with the vendors that we met with and some we didn't!"

Debra Cummings, SanDdesign*

The scheduled meetings and events were motivational and the attendees were upbeat."

The positive attitudes and personalities of the attendees, coupled with a mutual desire to collaborate on superior project work really made the experience and the format a success for me. The location and facility were of the highest caliber and I was thrilled that we could work hard and enjoy our surroundings in a well-structured event. This is a five star conference!"
