Marketing Strategy Conference

HSMAI’s Marketing Strategy Conference will address the latest data, research, and new developments in marketers’ efforts – online and off – to connect with, track, and influence changing consumer sentiments throughout all phases of travel.

You’ll leave with actionable insights and thought-provoking ideas to guide your strategies – all aimed at accelerating your company’s recovery.

For more than fifteen years HSMAI’s Marketing Strategy Conference has been where senior leaders in hotel marketing connect and engage in meaningful, thought-provoking conversations about the most important strategic issues facing the business today.

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