HTNG membership provides benefits both for hotel companies and vendors that want to actively define and implement the next generation of technology; for those who cannot or do not wish to participate actively but who want to influence it; and for those who simply want to be aware of what it will look like so that they can plan and budget accordingly.   To join HTNG, click here.

Full corporate memberships cover any employee within your organization, and in most cases cover employees of affiliated companies under common control.  Limited corporate memberships cover a specific number of employees, while individual memberships cover one person.

What benefits can you expect? 

• Members-only access to design documents, best practices and technical specifications from more than two dozen focused HTNG efforts. 

  • Non-members only get to see final specifications when released for certification, and a limited number of other documents that are released to the general public, generally after a significant time lag.

  • Members get full visibility not only of all completed documents, but of work in progress, minutes of workgroup meetings, and other information shared within the working groups

• Access to a developer's "quick start" guide to ease implementation of HTNG web services

• Ability to procure solutions with less customization because they have been designed with extensive hotelier input and designed to work through interoperable standards

• Access to HTNG's Branding and Certification Program, to certify products§ (as a vendor) or to learn what products are certified (as a buyer).

• The unique opportunity to understand broad industry needs and to influence the direction of industry solutions and standards through participation in HTNG's working groups.  A level playing field is provided by HTNG's "one company, one vote" rule.  This right is subject to HTNG's workgroup policies, and in the case of existing workgroups is subject to vote of current members.  

• Compare ideas with the industry's best and brightest at HTNG's annual Members' Meetings -- currently one per year in North America, one per year in Europe, and one per year in the Asia Pacific region§ -- and (for workgroup members) at workgroup meetings as well.

• Discounts for attendance and/or sponsorship at certain industry conferences and events, and discounts on certain promotional or media placements.

If you are a technology or distribution service provider, you also get:

• To protect your product investment by understanding the evolution of hotel needs, industry standards, and the direction of other vendor segments with which you need to work

• To incorporate HTNG in your marketing materials in ways that show customers your commitment to industry progress (click here for more details)

• To enjoy substantial savings when you certify your product to HTNG standards in the HTNG Branding and Certification Program and show the "HTNG Certified" label on your packaging

• To place the "HTNG Certified" logo on products that have been certified under the HTNG Certification Program, and on related advertising

• To showcase your company's capabilities with your customers' leadership by sponsoring or exhibiting at HTNG's annual Members' Meetings in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific§

Hospitality members who are senior technology officers within hospitality companies may, with certain very limited exceptions, apply for available positions on the HTNG Board of Directors.
