NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jun 21, 2013) - HOTEC North America, in partnership with HA+D Magazine, announced the expansion of HOTEC Design, a collaborative event that unites hospitality design buyers and trend-setting suppliers at inspirational, five-star host properties.
In 2014, the HOTEC North America portfolio will cater to design professionals from coast to coast, with HOTEC Design East to take place June 16-19, 2014, at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Fla., and HOTEC Design West scheduled for the West Coast next October at a venue to be announced.
"The fact that HOTEC Design 2013 sold out is a testament to the demand for an additional event in 2014," said Marilyn McHugh, Questex Hospitality + Travel vice president, global events. "Our venture to both coasts will give us an expanded platform to reach and inspire a wider audience while embracing both the surrounding region and the products that our global suppliers bring to the table."
The launch of another HOTEC Design event will multiply the connections forged between suppliers, designers, operators and hoteliers, fostering trends and encouraging industry advancement.
"This strategic expansion will immerse HOTEC Design attendees in the culture and aesthetic of each surrounding region and will bring new, cutting-edge industry products and solutions to the forefront of the industry," said Mary Malloy, HOTEC design event director. "HOTEC Design 2014 East and West attendees will walk away with an abundance of newly attained connections, ideas and concepts that will prove lucrative for many years to come."
