Venice (July 30, 2010). The Hilton Molino Stucky, in Venice, Italy is the place to be from 20-22 October, 2010: It will host the eighth annual "International Hotel Conference" (IHC), one of the established annual gatherings of international hotel experts. The three-day congress is the “Bridge to Your Next Opportunity” with more than 100 speakers leading interactive sessions and exceptional networking events. Again, hospitalityInside.com is a media partner of the conference.
“We chose ‘Bridge to Your Next opportunity’ as this year’s conference theme, as we believe that the event is the ideal venue for connecting with the people and ideas that you need to know at this all important time in the hotel industry,” said Morris Lasky, conference co-chairman and president of the organising company Lodging Unlimited Inc.. “I have been in the industry for more than 40 years and past cycles of recession and recovery indicate some enlightening trends. We expect to see significant acquisition activity taking place during the conference.”
“Pre-registrations are ahead of last year and we have gathered over 100 notable speakers to address the various issues facing hoteliers today,” Lasky added. “We are confident that this is the strongest speaker list in our eight-year history.”
