EasyGroup founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, who launched the easyHotel budget hotel group in 2005, is to be the keynote speaker at the 2007 British Association of Hospitality Accountants (BAHA) Annual Conference and Exhibition, which will take place on 8-9 November at the five star Radisson Edwardian Heathrow Hotel, 140 Bath Road, Hayes, UB3 5AW.

Entitled ‘Managing Technology for Profit’, the two-day BAHA Annual Conference and Exhibition is one of the leading events on the hospitality industry calendar. Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou will get this year’s Conference off to a flying start with a presentation on ‘Using a Famous Brand to Build a New Hotel Business Model’.

The event will afford finance and IT professionals, from all corners of the UK, the opportunity to get an informed view from a line-up of expert speakers, making individual presentations and taking part in Panel Forums, on current key issues – such as ‘The Cost of the Environment’; and the ‘Separation of Ownership and Management: Implications for Performance Measurement’ – and their impact for the future.

The delegate packages on offer for attending the 2007 BAHA Conference and Exhibition range from the full two-day BAHA conference package – including accommodation and breakfast at the Radisson Edwardian Heathrow for the night of 8 November, and the Conference Dinner – at £289 for BAHA members and £335 for non-BAHA members, to those wishing to attend Day Two of the conference only, where the cost is £80 for BAHA members and £90 for non-members.
