Don’t miss the fifth annual HTNG Asia-Pacific Conference, in Hong Kong 23-25 July 2013

HONG KONG - In 2013, HTNG Asia-Pacific Conference is excited to also extend this invitation to hoteliers who are members of the China Hospitality Technology Alliance (CHTA), with whom HTNG recently announced a partnership. With the partnership of the CHTA, selling technology into the Chinese marketplace will be one of the core themes of this year’s conference.  We are working out the final details on a session focused on Crossing the Great Wall, a session designed to answer the key question:  what can hotel technologists from China and the West learn from each other?
 
In addition to the powerful networking, you can also learn from our hospitality targeted thought-leadership sessions. Here are some of the confirmed sessions for this year:
 
· Digital Media: Contemplating a possible marriage between IT and Marketing, this session will explore the future of consumer engagement, the next generation of social strategy, the impact of Big Data, and what it means as the Chinese Middle Class begins to travel worldwide.
