The publishers and editors of Boutique Design Magazine and Hospitality Style Magazine are pleased to announce buyer registration is now open online for the annual Hospitality MATCH event (www.HospitalityMatch.com/Buyers) June 23rd-25th at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs, south of Denver.

And this year I'm pleased to announce I've again been asked to be the VIP Buyer Concierge to gather the best buyers to register and prequalify in advance, as well as assist on-site during the MATCH event as a host and guide and photographer and freindly assistant wherever needed.

After 8 years, I'm sure most of the north american hotel specification and purchasing industry have heard of the fun format: one-to-one "speed networking" limited-invitation weekend conference between buyers and suppliers of FF&E for 4star & 5star hotels & resorts.

A limited number of selected buyers will be invited to receive complimentary transport out to Denver and Colorado Springs , 3 night resort hotel stay included, and all food and beverages paid as part of the weekend program. All buyers selected to attend MATCH will be confirmed and notified in late April with their full travel arrangements.

If you or one of your key senior staffers in your architecture or design or purchasing or hotel management firm are interested in MATCH, please go to: http://www.hospitalitymatch.com/buyers to register online. Each MATCH buyer must complete the online registration to pre-qualify, in order to be selected and to be invited.

Just got into NYC for setup for the BDNY hotel show this coming weekend.  No problems flying into Newark airport, snow all melted.  No problems taking the Port Auth bus into the city, less than half hour ride.  No problems getting to my midtown hotel.  No snow - it's all melted!  Restaurants and bars and shops are all open.  The sidewalks and streets are vibrant as ever. Food carts and sale tables and open doors welcome you on every block.

I know that folks in the suburbs and elsewhere in the city and on the coast are still struggling and need our support (donate to the Red Cross...I did), but if anyone had concerns about whether or not they should fly or train or bus or drive into NYC for this show it's time to confirm those travel plans ...and for all the local and regional architects and designers and hoteliers... please take time off on Sunday or Monday and come to the Javits Center and walk this show.  All of us exhibitors from around the country will be so happy to see you, and so proud of your support of this show and our industry,  and of the sturdy east coasters and New Yorkers who are making it happen.
