I personally ensure the industry’s most active and senior buyers are in attendance at our events, and pair them with the right suppliers they need to meet to secure new business. And what’s better, Hotec events have historically been known to be fun, buttoned-down, and conducive to business-discussion while allowing our guests to enjoy their 5-star surroundings.
