HTNG Announces Agenda for Bangkok Conference
Hotel Technology Next Generation (HTNG), the membership association that unites the world’s hospitality companies and technology innovators to solve industry challenges, announced the agenda for next month’s 2016 HTNG Asia-Pacific Conference being held July 26 – 28 July in Bangkok. HTNG has lined up an impressive list of experts to speak on current important topics in technology for the hospitality industry. Space in the exhibit hall is already sold out and the number of regional attendees is on the rise, forecasting the largest Asia-Pacific Conference HTNG has ever seen.
“Our conferences are dedicated to supporting hoteliers and their need to learn about technology trends and address industry challenges,” says Michael Blake, CEO of HTNG. “This year’s program does just that for the Asia-Pacific region, indisputably making it our best conference ever!”
Focusing on emerging and ongoing business issues technology can address, HTNG produces conference programs that help attendees stay up-to-date on technologies that drive business. The association's conferences have become critical events for hospitality professionals who want to maximize the value their companies gain from technology.
