HSMAI's Hotel Sales Strategy Conference

HSMAI's Hotel Sales Strategy Conference, organized by HSMAI's Hotel Director of Sales & Marketing Advisory Board, is being held on March 31, 2009 at the Swissôtel in Chicago. The Conference is designed to deliver hard hitting sessions that address the leadership skills needed in times like these, insights from customers, tactics for setting sales strategies and meeting sales targets, and deliver ROI on your attendance.

Being held in conjunction with HSMAI's Affordable Meetings Mid-America, April 1-2, at Chicago's Navy Pier, some of the Conference agenda highlights include:

The Passion of Leadership: help others identify opportunities to grow as leaders, while building commitment to continuous learning; Making Tough Business Decisions in Tough Times: Making tough decisions easier by having a guiding framework; One-on-One with Smith Travel Research: an exclusive up-to-the minute snapshot of where the industry stands and where it's headed; The Voice of the Customer: a spirited discussion with customers representing the association, government, corporate, and leisure sectors; Driving Online Reservations through Internet Marketing: the latest Internet Marketing tools and technology that will drive more traffic to your website to confirmed reservations; Make Yourself Indispensable and Unforgettable: how to develop and nurture your personal brand image.

To make attendance even more appealing, conference registrants receive a complimentary registration to one HSMAI University webinar of your choice in the second quarter of 2009. That’s a $99 value for HSMAI members. Sounds like a great opportunity!

Also, companies who exhibit at HSMAI's Affordable Meetings will receive a special registration rate for the Hotel Sales Strategy Conference -- 25% off of the early member registration rate (which equals $295 per person).
