The annual AHLA Technology Acceleration Award recognizes companies that have taken specific steps to advance innovation in hospitality.

AHLA Chief Technology Officer Michael Blake commented, “AHLA created this recognition program to award leading technology companies who are demonstrating their industry commitment to advancement, adoption, and acceleration.” Blake added, “BluIP’s implementation of HTNG Express proves a significant contribution in helping move hospitality forward.”
