Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP®), producers of the Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference (HITEC®), is pleased to announce PROVision Partners as the exclusive sponsor of Entrepreneur 20X (E20X) Toronto. The successful pitch competition featuring hospitality technology start-ups will take place as a Headliner presentation at HITEC Toronto on Wednesday, June 28 beginning at 8:15 a.m.
Now entering their second consecutive year as the event sponsor, PROVision Partners’ industry expertise aligns well with the competition. An established business advisory and consulting firm focused exclusively on the hospitality sector, PROVision helps organizations in the hotel, travel and technology industries grow their brands and increase revenue by leveraging a powerful combination of strategy and execution.
Established in 2015, HFTP’s Entrepreneur 20X provides hospitality technology start-ups with a career-boosting opportunity, exposing them to top industry mentors, investors, leaders and executives. The start-ups compete for two separate awards: the Judges’ Choice Award with a $5,000 cash prize and the People’s Choice Award, a popular vote selected by HITEC attendees. In addition to the main competition, participants are showcased in the E20X Pavilion located within the HITEC exhibit hall. To help prepare the competitors for their pitch, the companies are paired with experienced industry mentors for an advisory session.
It speaks volumes about the success and industry value of Entrepreneur 20X that PROVision is once again sponsoring the competition. We are grateful that a company with such a dedicated focus on strategic excellence in hospitality has partnered with HFTP to continue to bring the latest technology to the industry’s grandest stage.
