HITEC 2026 — Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition

HITEC — the Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference — is the world's largest and longest-running hospitality technology event. Produced by the Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals association, HITEC 2026 takes place at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, bringing together more than 7,000 attendees and 300 exhibiting companies across four days.

The exhibition floor provides the most comprehensive view available of the hospitality technology marketplace, from property management systems and revenue management platforms to AI-powered guest engagement tools, contactless check-in infrastructure, and the back-of-house operational systems that determine labour efficiency and service quality. For hotel operators evaluating technology investments, there is no more efficient way to assess the full landscape of available solutions.

The conference programme runs in parallel with the exhibition, addressing the technology strategy decisions facing hoteliers at every scale. The 2026 themes include the deployment of generative AI in hotel operations, the integration challenges created by legacy PMS infrastructure, cybersecurity and data governance obligations, and the return on investment evidence base for major technology categories. The co-location of buyers and vendors over four days consistently produces more contracts and partnership agreements than any other technology event in the sector.
