LUIS SEGREDO, DATA Travel LLC's CEO, is the new chair of the American Hotel & Lodging Association’s Global Technology 100 2025 leadership team. Edward Malinowski, Aman’s chief information technology officer, has been selected as vice chair.

I’m grateful for their service to AHLA, their leadership, and their commitment to working on behalf of our industry.”

In November, AHLA and HTNG released an updated Staff Alert Device Buyer’s Guide to help hoteliers select personal safety devices for staff and guest safety. HTNG comprises more than 4,000 professionals worldwide dedicated to advancing hospitality technology.
