The 17th Annual Executive Vendor Summit
Hospitality Upgrade Magazine has announced that its 17th Annual Executive Vendor Summit (EVS) will be held in person at The Westin Dallas Stonebriar Golf Resort in Frisco, Texas, from March 30-April 1, 2022. The Executive Vendor Summit is a unique invitation-only industry event that brings together senior level technology executives from the hospitality industry for learning, thought leadership and networking.
The host hotel is located in the popular Dallas suburb of Frisco, roughly 25 minutes from the local Dallas airports (19 miles from Dallas Fort Worth and 16 miles from Love Field). The Westin Dallas Stonebriar Golf Resort is a Texas resort-style getaway with plenty of room to roam and experience laidback luxury in Frisco, Texas.
In an industry based on competition as much as partnerships, the Executive Vendor Summit offers vendor executives a rare combination of networking, social events and program content in a relaxed atmosphere, with no customers and no selling. “In my conversations with those in the vendor community, executives tell me they are truly excited about gathering at a face-to-face industry event,” said Hospitality Upgrade CEO and Publisher Rich Siegel. “EVS is for the vendor community, but it’s amazing how many hoteliers want to join us this year. This event allows attendees to develop and foster critical relationships with their peers, as well as focus on both challenges and opportunities in the industry.”

The 2022 EVS program includes many popular sessions including the following: Mergers and Acquisitions; Intellectual Property, Security and IP; and of course, the robust and animated CIO panel. This year’s CIO panelists include Dan Kornick with Loews Hotels & Co., Cameron Hammond with Hyatt, Andrew Arthurs of Aimbridge Hospitality, Richard Tudgay of Highgate, and Yvette Vincent of Marriott. More sessions are being added to the 2022 EVS program so keep checking back.
Hospitality Upgrade is continuing its partnership with Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP) for this year’s event and program. "The Executive Vendor Summit is the world's only hospitality technology supplier invitational event, and Hospitality Upgrade has done a phenomenal job, both by supplying stellar education and facilitating a number of hospitality technology companies' mergers, acquisitions and, most importantly, partnerships," said HFTP CEO Frank Wolfe.
