COSTA MESA, California, USA Burba Hotel Network (BHN) has announced that three special country/regional session tracks will be featured at the upcoming Hotel Investment Conference Europe (Hot.E) conference. Hosted by BHN, Hot.E is scheduled for 6-8 September 2011, at the Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel in London.

The first track being announced today will focus on the Mediterranean/Southern region of Europe. Three sessions are included in this track and will focus on:

  • Italy
  • the Iberian Peninsula
  • and the Balkans

The discussion on Italy will be led by Fabrizio Gaggio, Managing Director, Starhotels SpA and Roberto Galano, Executive Vice President, Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels.

The Iberian Peninsula session will be led by Jorge Adell, Partner, Baker & McKenzie Barcelona, SLP and Christopher de Bruyn, Director, T&L Europraxis Consulting.

The Balkans session will be led by Miroslav Dragičević, Senior Partner, Horwath HTL and Kristian Sustar, Executive Director, HUP Zagreb d.d.

About the special regional discussion tracks, BHN president Jim Burba said, "There are a many opportunities to invest in hotels throughout all of Europe, so developing workshop sessions to laser in on some of the most dynamic locations made a lot of sense. Each session will delve into the options to buy and build and the opportunities and challenges within the location" Burba added, "If a delegate is interested in a certain region of Europe, such as the Mediterranean/Southern region they can attend all of these sessions. The workshop leaders are experts based in their respective markets and we expect that the advice given will be very valuable for the delegates in attendance."

Hot.E will be held immediately following the launch of the first Hotel Data Conference Europe (HDC), with honorary hosts STR Global and HotelNewsNow.com . Hot.E and the HDC will feature a joint gala reception on the evening of Tuesday, 6 September 2011, to enable the delegates from both events to meet and network.
