HITEC TOKYO Held for the First Time in Japan

The Hospitality Tech EXPO hosted by RX Japan LLC has formed a strategic partnership with HITEC® (Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference), the world’s largest international hospitality technology conference. Through this partnership, the first-ever HITEC TOKYO will be held as a special conference within the Hospitality Tech EXPO on December 2–4 at Ariake GYM-EX. Moving forward, it is planned to be held continuously with Tokyo as its base.

HFTP’s mission is to improve financial and technology knowledge and enhance their performance for hospitality industry professionals around the world. We are very pleased to partner with RX Japan to realize this mission by expanding HITEC to Tokyo. With a history of over 50 years, HITEC has established itself as an event that symbolizes expertise in the hospitality technology sector. The event will bring together a high-level network of industry-leading professionals who are at the forefront of technology development in the hotel and related hospitality businesses. With HITEC TOKYO, this essential source of knowledge will be extended to the Asian hospitality market. Bryan Wood, HFTP Chief Meetings and Events Officer
