HITEC 2026 is the hospitality technology industry's main annual gathering, drawing between 5,000 and 10,000 attendees including operators, vendors, and buyers focused on restaurant and hospitality tech. The event runs June 15 through 18 in San Antonio, TX, and the program centers on growth and revenue opportunities across the sector. Ticket pricing sits at the higher end, so attendees generally come with a budget and a purpose. The floor skews toward solution providers and decision-makers who are actively evaluating technology investments rather than just browsing. If your goal is to close deals, build distributor relationships, or get in front of restaurant-side buyers who control tech spend, this conference puts you in the right room. It fits best for suppliers and vendors with a clear pitch and the resources to compete for attention at that scale.
