For obvious reasons, Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP®) announced last week that this year's HITEC will pivot to a virtual edition called "Cyber HITEC." I guess most of you have been participating and attending in a variety of online event formats over the past 3 months... and you probably had some good, some bad, and maybe some great online experiences originating from creative minds.

So the question I would like to ask you is to share your personal best experiences so far and recommendations for team HFTP... supporting them to make CYBER HITEC a success!

First of all, I congratulate HFTP for the decision to fully 'cyberize' HITEC at least for this year. A bold move showing how responsible they act with regards to the health of the HITEC participants and still serving the need for our industry to meet, learn, and exchange views. As for my recommendation for the online event: I would like to see short unmoderated break-out sessions. Part of the benefit I had from attending previous HITEC was reflecting with peers in coffee-breaks on sessions attended and getting someone else's point of view on that subject. I would very much welcome if that could also be transferred into the virtual experience.
