Make the Most of HSMAI’s Commercial Strategy Week
- Download the app when it’s available in June to get the latest schedule information and important announcements…and connect with fellow attendees.
- Spend time in the Partner Showcase. Talk with the companies there about how their products and services can help you and your hotel(s) become more effective and efficient.
- Have a little fun in Toronto! The HSMAI staff team’s Toronto favorites are Casa Loma, Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada, the Distillery District, Kensington Market, Sonic Boom Records, and…poutine!
- Get your CRME or CHDM while you’re there! Certification Review Courses on Monday are terrific final cram sessions…and you can take the exam at the end while everything is fresh in your mind.
- Come with a colleague(s)! In addition to the quality time you’ll have to hash out the latest challenges at the office, you’ll have 2 (or more) sets of eyes and ears to attend concurrent education sessions and bring back actionable learnings. Group pricing is available.
