Five leading accommodation industry events will participate in Hotels Megameet, a suite of consecutive events for senior industry executives, investors, developers, lenders, suppliers and professionals in Australia and New Zealand.
Held in Sydney over three days between 27th and 29th July 2015, the partnering events at Hotels Megameet will provide attendees with insight into the state of the accommodation industry and where it is heading, whilst also providing a great networking opportunity.
Over 100 speakers will address topics over the three days ranging from investment and finance issues, through to development, ownership, technology, management and operational issues. Industry excellence will be recognised with the announcement of major awards and attention will also be directed towards future industry leaders.
Hotels Megameet will comprise:
1) HotelsWorld Australia New Zealand – the annual event for CEO’s and other industry leaders, with the highest level of decision-maker participation and support for any event in the region. HotelsWorld 2014 attracted over 400 delegates and 50 Sponsors, Exhibitors and Supporters.
2) Hotels Investment World – an event designed for accommodation industry owners, investors, developers, operators and lenders, that provides insight into the world of hotel capital in Australia & New Zealand.
3) Boutique & Lifestyle Hotels World – a first event for the region, designed to explore one the industry’s fastest growing sectors.
4) Ted’s Technology Summit – the region’s leading technology event for industry leaders, created by industry IT guru, Ted Horner.
5) Tourism Accommodation Australia (NSW) Awards for Excellence 2015 – a major awards ceremony for the hospitality industry, honoring the achievement of excellence in accommodation, dining, entertainment, marketing, training, community service and talented employees.
The creator of Hotels Megameet, Horwath HTL Australia CEO, John Smith, said it was a concept that provides busy senior executives with a practical means of knowledge sharing and networking.
“In 2015, Hotels Megameet will again enable executives to efficiently and selectively participate in leading industry events over only a three day period, whilst also being able to meet up with peers and colleagues from other Hotels Megameet events in the same city, during the same week,” he said.
“Our participating event goals are “Insight, Ideas and Networking” and Hotels Megameet will deliver on those goals as no other events in the region can,” he added.
Commenting on the initiative, Carol Giuseppi, Acting CEO of Tourism Accommodation Australia, said: “Positioning the TAA (NSW) Awards for Excellence under the Hotels Megameet umbrella will again ensure that industry leaders have the opportunity to attend these most prestigious accommodation awards and support excellence in product, staff and service delivery.”
Ted Horner, Managing Director of E Horner & Associates said: “Helping hoteliers to get a handle on where technology is headed and what is needed to stay ahead is the focus of Ted’s Technology Summit, where CEO’s talk tech and we are delighted to again be part of Hotels Megameet.”
