Ken Barnes, CIO of Omni Hotels & Resorts; Jim Lamb, CIO of Interstate Hotels & Resorts; and Shannon Knox, VP at Hilton, served as panelists and were willing to share their experiences with the Summit attendees – all C-level executives from companies that provide technologies to the hospitality industry.
