Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa in Aventura, Florida from June 27-30, 2021, Hotec Europe which will be held at the Anantara Vilamoura Algarve in Portugal from October 26-29, 2021 and Hotec Global, which was held as a virtual event in November 2020. 

Malloy has had a long career at Questex, starting as an inside sales representative and working her way up in the sales department to her strategic role as Associate Publisher, HOTEL DESIGN to Publisher, and then as Event Director for the Hotec North America/Hotec Design brands, creating a sought-after one-to-one meetings forum for the industry’s leading designers, architects, procurement agents and specifiers to meet with innovative suppliers.   

Amy Vaxman, Vice President & Market Leader, Questex Travel & Hospitality, said, “Mary is passionate about the hospitality design space, which was evident in her role of launching HOTEL DESIGN Magazine and building an engaged audience with high retention and significantly growing both top and bottom revenue. She has also formed lucrative partnerships in the design community both domestically and internationally. Mary has been described as ‘passionate,’ ‘dedicated,’ ‘diligent,’ and ‘customer-oriented,’ and is known in the hospitality design community as one who tirelessly delivers a personable experience. We are lucky to have her on our team.”

I personally ensure the industry’s most active and senior buyers are in attendance at our events, and pair them with the right suppliers they need to meet to secure new business. And what’s better, Hotec events have historically been known to be fun, buttoned-down, and conducive to business-discussion while allowing our guests to enjoy their 5-star surroundings. I could not be more excited, after the year our industry has faced, to bring our guests to the stunning Anantara Vilamoura Algarve, Portugal for Hotec Europe and continue to build on the excitement this event has come to embody.”
