HSMAI’s Leaders Reflect on 2023
In 2023, we witnessed our industry make an extraordinary shift from resilience to flourishing, we all wrapped our heads around the explosion of generative AI and accompanying technology innovations, and we continued to relish the opportunity to meet in person. As we turn the page on a transformative year, it is our pleasure to present the 2023 HSMAI Annual Report.
Over the past year, HSMAI provided solution-oriented insights, highly relevant education and resources, and supported and developed our chapters. Our goals were ambitious but designed to provide value and meet the needs of our member companies and individuals. The success of our efforts is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the HSMAI staff, volunteers, and partners. Thank you to each one of you for your contributions.
We started the year embracing the zeitgeist of the industry with our Adrian theme, the Next Great Chapter. We held the Mike Leven Leadership Conference for the first time since 2019, a fantastic opportunity for chapter leadership to collaborate and deepen their knowledge. During Commercial Strategy Week and Sales Leader Forum, expert speakers, content, and discussions helped attendees anticipate and respond to headwinds, identify new opportunities, and better align their commercial functions, guiding the future course of our industry. Curate focused on the hot topic of artificial intelligence, helping our organizational members to stay at the forefront of industry trends.
Our educational initiatives and networking opportunities have grown in both depth and reach. The active participation of our Advisory Boards, Rising Leader Councils, and chapters is a clear indicator of the vibrant community we have fostered. The Puerto Rico Chapter had a successful second year.
Under the helm of Brasil's chapter, we expanded our reach with the addition of a Latin American Advisory Board that produced events in Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Chile. The engagement and enthusiasm of our members and partners have been nothing short of inspiring.
Looking ahead, we are filled with optimism and excitement for the future. The journey continues, and HSMAI remains committed to equipping you with the necessary tools, insights, and connections to navigate what comes next.
The 2023 HSMAI Annual Report reflects our collective achievements. As we celebrate the close of an eventful year and look forward to the new opportunities that await, we thank you for your support of HSMAI. I invite you to explore the report and discover the strides we have made together.
