Hotel UK 2008

1st - 2nd September 2008, The Royal Garden Hotel, London

Hotel UK is the UK hotel industry’s premier business forum and is fully focused on the
total supply chain requirements of Purchasing Executives who procure for Hotels and Hospitality groups. Unlike an exhibition, the event provides a personal, uninterrupted
service enabling Buyers and Suppliers to hold personalised appointment schedules, network
and socialise with fellow industry delegates in a relaxed environment. This allows closer
contacts to be made between buyers and suppliers and really ensures that delegates get the very most out of this fantastic opportunity.
