Mark Fancourt

ark Fancourt’s impressive 30-year career in hospitality has taken him all over the world; more specifically, to 45 countries on five different continents. His journey began in his hometown of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia, where his father was involved in the tourism industry; to Griffith University, where he earned his Master of Hospitality Management — and it has most recently brought him to Las Vegas, where he co-founded Testbed.Vegas. This nonprofit organization focuses on dialogue, education and the exhibition of travel and hospitality technology in the robust Las Vegas market. Fancourt understands these concepts of dialogue and education in hospitality very well. He has held executive leadership roles with global and regional oversight at a host of prestigious companies — including MGM, Fidelio, Micros, Pan Pacific, PPHG, and operational roles with Qantas, Sheraton and Hyatt — along with independent hotels, resorts and startup tech companies
