Produced by HFTP and Hospitality Upgrade, the Executive Vendor Summit is a unique invitation-only industry event that brings together senior level technology executives from the hospitality industry for learning, thought leadership and networking.

Thought Leadership & Learning

The Executive Vendor Summit offers a stellar education program, conceptualized by an advisory board of industry experts. Past sessions have focused on an array of topics including artificial intelligence, machine learning, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, security and IP, and a very popular CIO panel. Planning for the 2026 education program is currently underway.

Unparalleled Collaboration & Networking

In an industry based on competition as much as partnerships, the Summit offers vendor executives a rare combination of networking, social events and programming in a relaxed atmosphere. At other conferences and tradeshows, vendors are focused on selling products and services. At the Executive Vendor Summit, there are no customers and no selling. By taking the customer out of this event, attendees form critical relationships with peers and focus on the industry's successes, challenges and opportunities and how to provide better solutions.

The Executive Vendor Summit is an invitation-only event. To receive an invitation, you must hold the title of president or senior executive position (at a technology company actively involved in the hospitality industry that is also a current customer of Hospitality Upgrade magazine. (Note: if you received an invitation and you can't attend, please reach out to our team to see about sending a different representative.) Our invitation list includes the who's who of the industry. Unprecedented peer-to-peer networking has proven to be an integral part of the conference.
