New York, NY—Appnostic, LLC, a global social media and mobile developer with a focus in hospitality and travel, is proud to announce their sponsorship of the 20th annual HSMAI industry summer bash. This premiere industry event will take place on Wednesday, August 8th aboard the spectacular Hornblower Infinity yacht. Recently remodeled with a bold design, the 210 ft. vessel is the largest in the New York fleet.

This summer, Appnostic joins HSMAI's Greater NY Chapter in hosting top players across the Hotel, Meeting Planning, Travel Services, Marketing, PR, Attractions, Venue, and Restaurant industries. The evening of networking, food, drinks and fun has attracted larger and larger crowds of industry professionals each year. Last year's event at the Yotel topped 650 attendees making it the largest hospitality and tourism party in NYC.

"As a longtime member of HSMAI and former board member, we are truly thrilled to sponsor Summer Bash. Our community building with the organization and its partners is vital and furthers our commitment to build bridges between new media technologies and the hospitality industry," states Brian Dass, founder and CEO of Appnostic, LLC.

In preparation for record crowds again, this year's Summer Bash will be held on the brand new Hornblower Infinity yacht. This 210 feet vessel has a capacity of 1000 people and features three climate controlled decks, five dance floors, exterior sun decks and a covered Skydeck.

Oversized windows will provide guests with a dazzling setting to network and enjoy the stunning sights of New York Harbor. Summer Bash's silent auction, held live at the event, raises thousands of dollars each year for NYC's Hope Lodge, The American Cancer Society's hotel for cancer patients. This year, Appnostic and members of the participating organizations are donating items such as services, hotel stays, dinners, and theater tickets to help raise funds.

Aboard the Hornblower Infinity, HSMAI members will delight in three hours of open bar, passed hors d'oeuvres and special giveaways courtesy of Appnostic. Attendees will have the opportunity to enter to win a free year of service with MobiWe™ or MobiBooker™, Appnostic's easy-to-use, 'mobile-ready' website creators that make any site optimized for mobile devices in minutes.

"We are anticipating another great Summer Bash this year. The involvement and support of the team at Appnostic has been instrumental in preparation of what is sure to be a memorable experience to all who attend. I would like to specifically thank founder and CEO Brian Dass for his years of support of the HSMAI Greater NY Chapter," says Lou Zameryka, President of HSMAI Greater NY Chapter.
