STR and BHN to launch co-located hotel data and hotel deal events

STR and Burba Hotel Network (BHN) are launching an innovative approach to hotel-industry conferences as they will hold STR Hotel Data Conference Europe and BHN’s Hotel Investment Conference Europe (Hot.E) conference at the Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel in London. The inaugural events will be held 6-8 September 2011.

The STR Hotel Data Conference Europe will be held 6 September 2011. It will be a one day conference, featuring in-depth data and discussion about the performance of the European hotel industry. STR’s London-based affiliate, STR Global, as well as HotelNewsNow.com, will be honorary co-hosts.

Hot.E will be held 6-8 September 2011. The conference will bring together the hotel investment community to discuss the latest trends and opportunities to invest in the European hotel industry.

The two events will feature a joint networking reception on the evening of Tuesday, 6 September 2011.

“We are delighted to have been asked by STR to act as honorary co-hosts of the Hotel Data Conference Europe with HotelNewsNow.com,” said Elizabeth Randall, managing director of STR Global. “With the hotel industry showing signs of the global recovery, we’re excited to co-host a conference that will offer hoteliers the opportunity to delve into the data affecting Europe and other regions whilst also providing a venue to further work on the deals that will play a large part in that recovery.”

“We’re delighted to launch Hot.E in conjunction with STR’s Hotel Data Conference Europe. We expect that this brilliant collaboration will create a very important annual gathering of the hotel community in Europe”, said James Burba, president, BHN. “London is a great location for hotel leaders to get the latest important data at STR’s event, and then to stay on and get their deals done at Hot.E.”
