AHTEC@FHC China 2012 to Take Place 14-15 November in Shanghai

After a successful AHTEC@HOFEX, Hong Kong, last year, the organizing committee has decided that the 2012 conference should be held in the country that has the largest pipeline of hotel projects in the world – China.

AHTEC@FHC China 2012 will be held 14-15 November at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) in Shanghai, China.

The event is jointly organized between Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP, the producers of HITEC) and Allworld HKES (the owners of HOFEX, Hong Kong). Guiding the event is Conference Chair Terence Ronson (managing director of Pertlink, Hong Kong).

“We are very excited about the upcoming program,” said Daniel Cheung, general manager for Hong Kong Exhibition Services Ltd. “The opportunity to give local and international technology providers a unique platform to educate and promote the market about their products and services has never been done before, and being part of this is truly amazing.”
