Marketing Strategy Conference

HSMAI’s Marketing Strategy Conference is the can’t-miss event of the year for leaders in hospitality marketing who want to expand their marketing knowledge and leadership abilities, as well as leaders in other commercial disciplines who need to be exposed to the latest developments in marketing for hotels.

The conference will give you new ways to think about today’s challenges and innovative approaches to address the trends that will impact you tomorrow. You’ll leave with actionable insights and thought-provoking ideas to guide your strategies — all aimed at supporting your efforts — online and off — to connect with, track, and influence consumers throughout all phases of travel.

For 20 years HSMAI’s Marketing Strategy Conference has been LEADING THE WAY in connecting and engaging senior leaders in hotel marketing in meaningful, stimulating conversations about the most important strategic issues facing the business today.

The 2023 conference will be live and in-person, and is organized by HSMAI’s Marketing Advisory Board.
