The event will be held in the Yan'an Hotel in Shanghai, China and more than 150 hostel owners and managers from around Asia are expected to attend the 2 day event.
The inaugural conference will discuss a number of topical themes pertinent to the hostel industry in Asia including emerging markets, ratings and reviews and the importance of user generated content. There will also be a backpacker panel, giving hostel owners and managers a chance to speak to and learn from the most important people; their customers. Expert speakers for the conference include Mr Xiao Yi, CEO & Founder of Go2eu.com, Mr. Wu Hao, General Manager of Daodao.com and Mr Cai JingHui, Market Representative with Lonely Planet.

Interesting writeup:
Speakers at the two-day conference on June 29 and 30 included Lonely Planet Market Representative Cai JingHui who said over 25 per cent of hostel and hotel bookings on the publisher’s website are for Asian destinations.
25% of hostel and hotel bookings on LonelyPlanet.com are for Asia. I wonder which nationalities are making the bookings. Also, I wonder what the percentages are on Hostelworld/WRI.
