“In all of our AHICE program meetings, hotel owners, investors and operators have said they want more technical content, which is exactly what we delivered with Inn Tech.”
While the Inn Technical Content Program lasted three hours on the second day of AHICE, all sponsors were also represented throughout the two days of the AHICE conference program, offering internet opportunities and excellent opportunities during all morning tea, afternoon tea and lunch breaks.
Tony Marshall, vice president and managing director of APAC, said the conference provided “a remarkable platform for connecting with industry leaders and presenting solutions that enhance hotels to enhance guest experience and streamline operations.”
“The introduction of Inn Technology Hotel Technology Summit is particularly insightful, highlighting the rapid development of technology in the hotel industry,” Marshall said.
“The network opportunities are excellent and we have a new feeling about dynamic growth and innovation across the region.
“The insights gained and the connections established with Ahice strengthen our commitment to supporting the dynamic growth of the Southeast Asian hospitality industry.”
Wilkinson said the INN Tech content will also be widened at future events – at AHICE Asia Pacific in Adelaide (May 6-8), AHICE Aotearoa in Christchurch (August 12-13), AHICE Far East Asia in Tokyo (September 4-5) and AHICE Aloha in Hawaii (October 16) – to include even more elements of hotel technology from on-property offerings to back of house programs.
“From AI to procurement software, room entertainment, door locking technology, PMS and RMS systems, digital marketing, robotics, etc., our Inn Tech Ammits will adopt more VIP content targeting our hotel investors, owners, GMS, VPS, VPS, CEOs, and more,” he said.
“We currently have a limited number of sponsorships and presentations at upcoming events around the world and we hope that as the Inn Tech Tech Summit series continues to attract the attention of the world’s leading hotel technology brands, we expect them to be sold soon.”
