On behalf of the International Hotel Technology Forum, I would like to welcome you to the Autumn Newsletter. This publication is designed to keep you up to speed with the latest developments with IHTF, and the hotel technology industry as a whole.  We welcome all feedback from our readers. If you have any updates or news that you would like to be included in the newsletter please contact us.

Now in its sixth year, IHTF 2009 will be a new and bigger event by merging our two successful European and Asian events together for the first time in Dubai. This will create two streams of meetings: one for the European market and one specifically for the Asian market making it a truly international event. This will give attendees a greater chance for networking alongside the opportunity to discuss solutions across both regions.

IHTF 2009 will include a series of one-to-one business development meetings between hoteliers and vendors, a comprehensive conference seminar for each stream covering keynote presentations and interactive workshops.  Also there will be many opportunities to network and strengthen business partnerships with peers and new contacts throughout the event to generate future contracts.
