Attendees will receive practical information, insights, and strategies from an impressive selection of speakers aimed at fueling hospitality sales.

We’re looking forward to bringing sales professionals together to discuss the pressures facing the hospitality industry. We’ll suggest tactical solutions for fueling hospitality sales and delve into what it means to lead hotel sales teams in today’s landscape. Robert A. Gilbert, CHME, CHBA, president and CEO, HSMAI
