February 22, 2008 - Over 150 attendees from over 25 countries convened at the sold-out 2008 European Hospitality Technology Educational Conference (EHTEC) to address technology issues and network with exhibitors and colleagues. “EHTEC provided a genuine insight into what key hotel executives think about the future of technology,” said Tim Wye, director at Hotel Consortium.
The boutique conference offered two full days of focused technology education and networking opportunities with European hospitality professionals. The program included hot topics, such as guestroom technology, evolution of electronic distribution and technology trends. The well-received closing session discussed how to effectively run an IT department in the generation of global converged networks
I chose this article because I found it very interesting because being a soon to be alumni and looking for a career in the hospitality industry I am the future. And, whether we enjoy the technology aspect of the industry we have to be able to keep up with the times. Technology is continuously changing and being a young manager one will have to be able to know what will enhance their property. I would not mind attending a conference like this in the future so I too can have a competitive advantage when seeking out my job. I would like to know who has the been and widely known products.

I agree with Lacey in that although technology in hospitality would not be considered a strong suit of mine, it is without a doubt a necessary component in our field. Knowing about guestroom technology, the evolution of electronic distribution and the newest technology trends are vital the success of the company I will one day work in. It is important to keep up with the new technologies so when I graduate in three years I will be have the knowledge needed in my workplace. Conferences such as remind me of the NY Hotel Motel Show that I went to in the fall except more technology based. I feel like going to a conference like this one would be extremely beneficial.
