Your Host
Ellington Technologies
A digital marketing and AI automation agency trusted by more than 150 business owners, with deep roots in travel, tourism, and hospitality. We build the systems that attract, convert, and retain customers — websites, paid media, email and SMS, and AI that answers the phone when you cannot.
This dinner is not a sales presentation. It is the room we wish existed when we started: operators at a similar scale, in one place, talking straight about what moves revenue.
“Ellington Technologies completely changed how we handle leads — our bookings increased by 40% in just three months.”
