Update on the World Hostel Conference in New York

Hi Everyone,

The following is a brief update on the upcoming World Hostel Conference being held in New York this November:

1) Over 90 people have registered for the conference to date so far. We have people traveling from 15 countries, including Russia, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Portugal, the UK, Bolivia, Greece, Belgium, Serbia, and Italy.

2) GoMio has published the initial program for the conference (please see www.gomio.com/Conference2010/Program.html). We are very excited about the lineup of speakers and the content of the conference. We will be discussing numerous topics that we believe will be of great interest to you as hostel owners and managers, including the latest in technology for hostels, online and offline marketing ideas, potential new customers, an update on upcoming trends in location-based review services, how to get better online feedback from your guests and managing online reviews, and much more.

3) We are pleased to announce an additional event on November 16th. HI-New York will be sponsoring a tour and welcome reception for participants of the conference. You will have the opportunity to tour North America’s biggest hostel and then enjoy drinks in the ballroom.

4) HI-NY is offering participants special conference rates. Visit www.Hinewyork.org for hostel details and secure.iqres0822.com/iqreservations/ for online bookings.
