Hospitality events are growing by leaps and bounds, and as a result, it is becoming more difficult for hoteliers to choose one conference over another – if they can even make time or find the resources to travel at all. Therefore, IBC Hospitality Technologies is launching the InnDependent Lodging Executive Summit: A Year of Learning Webinar Series and "Meetings in Meetings" designed to provide relevant information to hospitality owners and operators in a convenient and cost-effective format. Companies such as 123Compare.me, Google, SiteMinder, Expedia, Infor, HMBookstore, and others are being invited to lead discussions on boosting Net RevPAR growth, driving direct business to hotel websites, running a better overall hotel, attracting a better mix of customers etc. The company also will add focused ILES meetings to existing conferences this year.
