HFTP’s Continuing Education is Key to Staying Ahead
 AUSTIN, TEXAS, USA| The key to surmounting economic challenges is to keep on top of current industry trends, learn best practices from experts and have a dialogue with those in similar situations. Hospitality professionals can gain such advantages at Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals' (HFTP®) educational conferences, featuring relevant education programs on hospitality finance and technology, as well as valuable networking opportunities.
