HITEC in Toronto did not disappoint!
HITEC Toronto exceeded our expectations, offering a vibrant platform for industry professionals to gather and explore the latest trends and innovations in the hospitality sector. Together, with our Technology Partners, we deliver comprehensive solutions that unite access control, security, property automation, software, hospitality operations, and much more in an all-in-one integrated technology platform. The hospitality industry is constantly evolving, and technology is increasingly becoming essential to enrich the guest experience.
Our booth – one of 325 companies on the HITEC trade show floor – attracted significant attention as we showcased our cutting-edge hospitality smart access solutions and integrations. Our mobile access credentials like Apple Wallet (which provides a secure keyless and contactless digital experience) got a lot of attention in the booth, as did our stylish electronic hotel locks and premium handle finish options
HITEC was a great opportunity for us to showcase our advanced and aesthetically-designed hospitality-specific electronic access control solutions that set a new standard in the industry.
Recognition and insightful presentations
We were thrilled to receive the prestigious Hospitality Upgrade magazine Innovative Technology award which recognizes our commitment to groundbreaking hardware and software advancements.
And, as usual, HFTP put on an excellent show. Keynote speaker Shawn Kanungo, best-selling author and innovation strategist, gave an energetic presentation on strategy in a world of disruption and a rundown of the latest trends and technologies in hospitality. One thing that stuck out from Shawn’s presentation: Innovation is 90% psychological and 10% technological. We can do it if we put our minds to it!
During HITEC, HFTP inducted two champions of hospitality technology into the International Hospitality Technology Hall of Fame: Datavision Technologies founder Sherry Marek and Unifocus founder Mark Heymann. They were recognized for innovating a pioneering technology solution specific to hospitality.
