Questex’s Hotec Design Curated Over 1,700 One-to-One Meetings Between Hospitality Design Specialists and Top Domestic Suppliers

NEW YORK, June 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Questex’s Hotec Design brought the top hospitality buyers, designers and suppliers together to discover new valued partners and stay on top of the latest trends. The event, which took place at the PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens from June 17th to the 20th, 2024, provided the ideal backdrop for solidifying new relationships in a luxurious setting built for relaxed networking, one-to-one meetings, and exceptional education. The smaller, more intimate environment that Hotec Design curates allows for quality business partnerships to form at record speed, providing unparalleled ROI. Over the course of three days, Hotec Design brought together 101 buyers/designers and 158 supplier attendees from 193 total attending companies.

The event kicked off with an inspiring keynote, Unlocking Excellence: Building High-Performing Collaborative Teams, presented by Duncan Stevens. Hotec events strive not only to create an environment for connection, but also to empower attendees to be their best selves on the job. Stevens shared his “Abracadabra Method” for effective collaboration, emphasizing the importance of curiosity, empathy, and courage.

Amy Vaxman, Vice President & Brand Leader, Questex Hospitality Group, says, “We pride ourselves on providing quality networking opportunities at Hotec—in just three days, we had over 1,700 face-to-face meetings take place, generating new connections and strengthening existing relationships. As Hotec Design continues to grow and evolve, we’re thrilled to welcome both new and returning guests each year.”

From a designer’s perspective, Bruce McClure, Senior Architect at Omni Hotels and Resorts, praised the efficiency and effectiveness of the meetings. “We don’t get the time to meet people regularly in the office… getting the one-on-one time here is invaluable,” he said.

From a supplier’s perspective, Lindsay Lerdo, Sales Manager at Sampson Mills, praised the quality networking. “The most memorable thing is the connections that you’re making with people. You’re making these lifelong friends… and the value in it—you can’t even quantify it,” she said.

After an exciting day of meetings and education, attendees participated in a paint and sip networking activity. To further connections made with potential partners, and to give back to the local community, Hotec joined forces with Clean the World to donate paintings and 300 hygiene kits to the event’s charity partner, AVDA.

Additional event highlights include:

A panel discussion, The Power of Transformation: Integration of Materiality, which delved into the distinction between mere change and genuine transformation for the hospitality design industry.A panel discussion, The Intersection of Senior Living and Hospitality Design: How to Make it Work, which discussed how the line between senior living and hospitality is blurring as more elements traditionally associated with hospitality are being integrated into senior living communities.A panel discussion, Designing Spaces for Optimal Well-Being: The Intersection of Wellness and Design, which discussed how thoughtful design can impact the health and happiness of guests.

Hotec events have become widely known for their interactive networking functions, and this year’s event was no exception. Attendees spent the first evening of the event at the welcome reception on the pool deck, participating in icebreakers and enjoying refreshments by the pool. The Caddyshack themed farewell reception featured glow golf, traditional southern BBQ, and the highly anticipated Hotec Design movie starring a handful of delegates in attendance.

Hotec Design 2025 will take place June 16-19, 2025 at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, AZ.

Questex’s Hotec Operations 2024 Hosts Largest Event to Date in Palm Beach Gardens, FL

Hotec Operations 2025 Scheduled for May 19-21 at the Caribe Royale Orlando

NEW YORK, June 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — After a record-breaking 2023 event, Questex’s Hotec Operations returned with the most well-attended conference in the event’s 20+ year history. Over the course of three days, Hotec Operations brought together 139 attending companies, 69 buyers and 113 suppliers, generating nearly 1,400 face-to-face meetings. The event took place at the PGA National Resort June 11th to the 14th and provided an optimal setting for solidifying new relationships in luxurious surroundings built for relaxed networking, one-to-one meetings, and exceptional education. The smaller, more intimate environment that Hotec Operations curates ensures exclusivity and unparalleled access to decision-makers.

The event kicked off with an inspiring and informative keynote, The Disney Difference: Achieving the Ultimate Customer Experience, presented by Lou Mongello, Speaker and Host of WDW Radio. Hotec events strives not only to provide a space where connections can be made with ease but also to share content that motivates attendees to innovate and take their business to new heights. Mongello shared strategies used by Disney to create memorable experiences, giving attendees practical tools and methods to mirror Disney’s success in cultivating loyal, repeat customers.

Hotec is passionate about giving back to the local community. For the 2024 event, Hotec teamed up with Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse, Inc. (AVDA) and Clean the World to spearhead a heartwarming initiative to support local women in need. Attendees created care packs filled with essential items and an inspiring message to provide comfort and support to those in challenging circumstances. Clean the World generously donated their eco-friendly hygiene products. By recycling gently used soap and bottled amenities from hotels, Clean the World not only reduces waste but also provides high-quality essentials for those in need. This collaboration ensured that the care packs weren’t just beneficial for people but also for the planet, reflecting Hotec’s unwavering commitment to making a meaningful difference in the world.

Clean the World’s Robert Montgomery, Vice President of Hospitality and Product, said, “Clean the World’s partnership with Hotec showcases a powerful alliance in the hospitality industry, with the mission to enhance sustainability efforts by repurposing discarded hygiene products and promoting eco-friendly practices.” To learn more about Clean the World, visit www.cleantheworld.org.

From a buyer’s perspective, Michelle Session, Buyer for Westline Properties, praised the Hotec format, “As a hotel owner and operator, the Hotec Operations conference was a fantastic way to learn about emerging technologies, products and services in a quality, relationship focused environment. The unique design of the one-on-one meetings allowed for personal connection and in-depth exploration of synergies, possible use cases, and future partnerships. I wish I had attended Hotec years ago – I would have been much more informed about my options as an operator.”

From a supplier perspective, Gary Coward, USA President at Nurture Hospitality Group, said, “Hotec once again showed it is a premier B2B personal hospitality executive meeting event hosted in a casual and enjoyable environment. The collective influence of the suppliers and buyers at Hotec have the power to move the market in whatever direction they choose. It is a very powerful group of executives, innovators, and well-respected companies.”

Amy Vaxman, Vice President and Brand Leader, Questex Hospitality Group, added, “With attendance for Hotec Operations growing year over year, it’s clear that the market is hungry for solutions and education that streamline operations and drive efficiency. We are thrilled to continue providing hoteliers and suppliers with the opportunity to connect, collaborate, and uncover innovative ways to propel their businesses forward. This year’s event has been a testament to the vibrant and dynamic community we serve, and we are excited about the future of hospitality operations and technology.”

New to Hotec Operations, Bruce Ford, SVP & Director of Global Business Development at Lodging Econometrics, delivered a data-filled keynote, United States Hotel Development Pipeline Overview with Forecasts. Ford shared insights on current trends and what’s to come for United States Hotel Development including shifts in investment patterns and emerging opportunities across the country.

Hotec’s reputation for unforgettable networking experiences reached new heights at this year’s event. Night two, attendees participated in a ‘la vie en rose’ themed paint and sip activity led by local artists to benefit AVDA followed by a Caddyshack closing celebration featuring games and a roaming photographer to capture new friendships made a Hotec. Connections were forged, memories were made, and the spirit of camaraderie was in the air throughout the entirety of the event.

The 2025 edition of Hotec Operations will be held from May 19-21 at the Caribe Royale Orlando.
