Marriott International’s 10th South Asia Engineering Conference touched upon two critical elements – integration and sustainability
They are the ones instrumental in designing the citadels dedicated to hospitality.

Realising the growing importance of this community, in 2007, Marriott International decided to organise an annual South Asia Engineering Conference (SAEC). The objective was to ensure that their engineers understood the direction the company was headed in, so they could collectively work towards it.
