Hospitality Upgrade Magazine has announced that its 16th Annual Executive Vendor Summit (EVS) will be held in person at the
Loews Vanderbilt Hotel in Nashville, Tenn., from June 9-11, 2021. The Executive Vendor Summit is a unique invitation-only industry event that brings together senior technology executives from the hospitality industry for learning, thought leadership and networking.
The host hotel is located in Nashville’s popular West End, across from Vanderbilt University and just minutes from the city’s most renowned attractions. The
Loews Vanderbilt is a modern and exciting property where comfort and Southern hospitality converge to offer a unique and friendly experience.
Hospitality Upgrade and the event hotel are taking extra precautions for the group’s safety. The hotel has published it’s
'Welcoming You Like Family’ protocols which can be found online. In addition, Nashville was recently named a ‘Safe Travels Destination’ by the World Travel and Tourism Council, making it one of only two destinations in the United States to achieve the designation.
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 in June,” 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 2021 agenda will include many popular sessions of previous events, including the CIO panel and a special industry association CEO panel. This year’s CIO panelists include Dan Kornick with Loews Hotels & Co., Jeff Bzdawka with Hyatt, Scott Strickland with Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Andrew Arthurs of Aimbridge Hospitality, Richard Tudgay of Highgate, and Yvette Vincent of Marriott. The association panel will include Mike Blake with HTNG, Bob Gilbert with HSMAI and Frank Wolfe with HFTP.
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.

Why do past attendees mark this as a must-attend event? Quite simply—it's the focus on peer-to-peer interaction. In an industry based on competition as much as partnerships, the Summit offers vendor executives a rare combination of networking, social events and program in a relaxed atmosphere. At other conferences and tradeshows, vendors are focused on selling products and services. At the Executive Vendor Summit, there are no customers and no selling. By taking the customer out of this event, attendees form critical relationships with peers and focus on the industry's successes, challenges and opportunities and how to provide better solutions.
This year's program is being finalized with many of the popular sessions of the past included and updated to reflect on the changes we are all experiencing today. Back by popular demand will be the CIO panel where a multitude of tech leaders from hotel companies will share where their technology focus and investment will be this year. The program will be finalized very soon as final schedules are being confirmed. We especially want to thank our Advisory Board for sharing their thoughts once again on this year’s program.
