FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 19, 2008 -- I noticed this immediately and realized as well that these things do not happen by accident. The experience I had was a direct result of the vision: commitment and professionalism of hospitality experts. So it was exciting to hear that The 93rd Annual International Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Show - the heart and soul of the hospitality industry was recently held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. It was hospitality heaven.

The industry's top gathering place for informed decision-makers about emerging trends, began with a Pre-Show Conference: The Hospitality Leadership Forum. This full-day conference was a world - class summit that brought together a wide range of visionaries from the lodging industry and beyond. With a futuristic bent they explored and addressed in depth, the forces that are already shaping and reshaping the Hotel, Motel and Restaurant business.
A few of the greatest values of the IH/M&RS at the Javits Center were the high quality of the 35,000 industry professionals, and the more than 1,250 attendees from hospitality industry suppliers. A majority of these were decision makers with purchasing power. Among the categories of attendees were representatives and owners of:
Casino Properties
Corporate Dining
Cruise Ships
Distributor-Grocers
Eating Clubs
Equipment Dealer/ Suppliers
Food Brokers
Health care Providers
Hotel/Casino-Corporate representatives

Hotel Owner Management Companies

Once the show went into full swing the IH/M&RS offered this year, as in years past complementary, top of the line educational programs. These content-rich seminars addressed timely subjects of great interest to the hospitality industry including: catering, design, human resources, technology, operations, professional development, security and more. There was plenty of "buzz" among vendors and attendees about the groundbreaking Restaurant Futurists programs. This unique cutting edge program addressed many of the obstacles and challenges facing food service professionals. There were also many programs designed to meet the needs of hotel and motel management as well as the needs of others specialized lodging professionals. In addition to the extraordinary seminars offered throughout The 93rd Annual International Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Show at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan, New York City, NY, the great Keynotes Awards further enhanced its success.
