January 18, 2012: Keeping Up With the New ADA (American's with Disabilities Act) Regulations
Ensuring full access to your place of business is one great way to expand your customer base. Millions of people with disabilities travel regularly, and many do so with family, friends, and colleagues. Individuals with disabilities control 76 billion in discretionary income, and this figure does not even include the spending capabilities of their traveling companions. Older travelers and aging baby boomers also benefit from your business' accessibility features.
January 29-31, 2012: BITAC: Food and Beverage
BITAC™ provides an intimate atmosphere for executive purchasing decision-makers in the Lodging Industry to connect with peers and executive suppliers to exchange ideas and information that is of instant value. An array of products and services are represented to furnish and run an F&B operation in a lodging property. Everything from beef to chairs to linens to high-tech POS and 3D event diagramming for your catering and convention services departments. The top lodging executives in attendance are responsible for purchasing F&B related product, services, and equipment from prominent independent & branded properties, and large corporate brands! BITAC™ is an invitation only event and has earned a highly acclaimed reputation for bringing together the top echelon of both purchasing decision-makers and suppliers while controlling the number of attendees to maximize everyone's productivity and overall experience. Prequalified meetings are scheduled between purchasing decision-makers and suppliers based on product needs and meeting requests. Orchestrated like "speed meetings", these 15 minute uninterrupted sessions are focused on needs and are just long enough to explore solutions and determine if future discussions will provide benefit.
