What Hotel Camp ?
The Internet links the people in the world, information is as fast and as rich as never before available and multi-media circles around the globe. Nevertheless, and perhaps also because meetings are just for the players in the Internet very popular. Since 2005, many of these meetings take place the world under the heading "Barcamp" instead. Interested meet at a Weekend to talk about the Internet, its development and new applications. The special case of such un-conferences is that no prior speaker defined, no lectures will be established and that there should be no audience, only participants. At the beginning of each Barcamps proposals for presentations and individual topics is collected, which are jointly compiled a timetable for the weekend. With this particular approach two objectives are connected: first is the selection of topics close to the interests of the participants, on the other hand refers to the start of the event is an interaction between the audience instead. This interaction is the essential feature of Barcamps. The exchange of ideas between the participants is more active and creative than in a normal conference, and should above all serve the further development of the players. Hardly any other event are the exchange and the "hallway conversations" in the foreground such as in the Barcamps.
dedicated to such principles is also the Hotel Camp, which on 14 and 15 November 2009 will see the Middle Rhine Valley. Thematically are particularly developments in the Internet, new technologies and Web2.0 and their profitable and purposeful use in the hotel industry in the foreground, but there are also other currently relevant topics to Hotel. The event thus moves the poles between social media and yield management. Attendees will include hotel operators, manufacturers of hotel software, and other experts, consultants and opinion leaders in the hotel industry. is organized
