The Australasian Hotel Industry Conference and Exhibition (AHICE), hosted and presented by HM magazine, is set to return to Melbourne in May 2014.

AHICE will be held on Thursday, May 1, 2014 at Grand Hyatt Melbourne, with a welcome event scheduled to take place the night before, Wednesday May 30 at a venue to be revealed in the coming months.

“After a huge turn out from the Melbourne hotel industry for AHICE in May, we are thrilled to be returning to the Victorian capital and growing the event even further in 2014,” said HM magazine’s Editor-In-Chief, James Wilkinson.

Over 300 leading Hoteliers, owners, investors, fund and asset managers, suppliers and consultants – up almost 100 on 2012 – converged on Sofitel Melbourne on Collins on May 16, 2013, to hear from over 30 speakers that discussed the greater accommodation industry, as well as tips from those outside the industry.

A strong line-up of speakers, a hallmark of AHICE, is again expected for the 2014 event.

“We have commenced work on our 2014 program already and the team is looking forward to hosting another successful conference next year,” Wilkinson said.

Sponsorship opportunities are now available – by contacting Adam Daff on +61 (0)2 8586 6207 and adaff@intermedia.com.au – and a ‘call for papers’ will be sent out in the coming months.
