The largest and longest-running hospitality technology event will be held June 26-29 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto. The 78,000-square-feet exhibit hall will showcase the industry’s most innovative technology.
Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP®) has just announced that exhibit space for the 2023 Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference (HITEC®) is sold out, and a waiting list for interested companies has been started. The status is a signifier of the continued interest in the 50+ year annual event, selling out even with a 5 percent booth space expansion from the successful HITEC 2022 in Orlando.
“We’ve seen increased popularity for HITEC Toronto this year for a variety of reasons,” said HFTP CEO Frank Wolfe, CAE. “But a major reason is that the industry can count on HFTP to deliver on its promise to help change the industry for the better, rather than just producing the event to make money. As a nonprofit organization, HFTP works to make our stakeholders’ jobs and professions better; and the money generated goes right back into the industry through our research, certifications, chapters and knowledge sharing.”
Companies exhibiting at HITEC represent a variety of technology solutions specifically designed for hospitality operations. Visitors will find offerings for cloud computing, AI/Chatbots, guest management/CRM, booking software, data security, digital displays, payment systems, in-room controls, robotics, mobile apps, sustainability solutions, and more.

“HITEC is well-regarded by solution providers as an important event to showcase your company to an audience of decision-makers, so it is a calendar priority for many,” said Debra Cukjati-Lineberry, HFTP Sr. Staff VP, Global Development. “I am impressed that we are sold-out a few weeks earlier than we typically do, and I greatly appreciate the support of long-time exhibitors; as well as am thrilled to welcome the newcomers and up-and-coming companies who are joining this year.”
Available promotional opportunities remain a way for exhibitors to make an impact on the 6,000+ attendees. Sponsorship of the Women in Hospitality Technology Reception is one of several marketing opportunities that has been created. This new event will recognize some of the women stalwarts of the hospitality technology profession that have served the industry. The event, held on Wednesday, June 28, will occur following the end of the day education program.
In addition, to accommodate the companies who are not able to reserve booth space but would still like to have a presence at the show, HFTP offers a HITEC Supporters Package. Contact sales@hftp.org for more information.
HITEC 2023 will be held June 26-29 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto. In addition to the exhibits, HITEC also offers an exceptional education program with presentations from experts representing all segments of the industry. Attendee registration and hotel reservations are available on the HITEC website.
