From 27 June until 30 June HITEC took place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. Everybody was really excited that the 50th edition of the show could be celebrated in person again. Hospitality Net was present too and we questioned industry experts on the show floor about some hot topics within the industry at the moment.
