Announcing the Hospitality Event Collective (HEC). This collective represents a significant step forward in Tripleseat's ongoing commitment to empower and elevate the event management sector within the hospitality industry.
What Is the Hospitality Event Collective?
The Hospitality Event Collective is more than just a community; it's a dynamic ecosystem designed to bring together hospitality event professionals from all backgrounds. Our goal is to foster connections, facilitate the exchange of best practices, enhance professional expertise, and significantly boost venue sales. More importantly, the HEC is a support network for you to form professional relationships, find new opportunities, and share insights that can help craft seamless and unforgettable events for your clients.
Why Tripleseat Created the HEC
From the early days of developing Tripleseat, when we were navigating the terrain of industry conferences and marketing opportunities, it became evident that there were countless events for hospitality but few that specifically addressed the needs of event managers and sales directors. This gap prompted a deeper exploration into what Tripleseat could offer, leading us to a striking realization: we hadn't just developed software; we had spearheaded a new category within the hospitality industry.
As Tripleseat grew, initiatives such as EventCamp, Seated Magazine, and our Party People events were born out of a desire to shine a light on the critical role of event professionals in creating successful restaurants, hotels, and venues. These ventures were not to benefit Tripleseat; they were integral in weaving the fabric of the event community – a group of professionals driven by dedication, innovation, and a passion for creating memorable experiences and helping to drive revenue to the bottom line.
