This week I have been working in Palma, as a result of HSMAI Region Europe’s increased level of activities in Spain, where I have attended several meetings.
We are very thankful for the support from La Paloma Event and the Mallorca Convention Bureau. I have also attended meetings with some hotel chains and other interesting players on the Mallorca scene.
Initially we will be holding educational meetings in Palma, Madrid and Barcelona, with more Spanish venues to come.
Last night we held an event here in Palma, receiving great feedback from the attending participants. In general we have been very well received in Spain and today, Friday, I had a meeting with the Maria José Aguilo, Executive Vice President of the Mallorca hotel federation, and they will spread information about HSMAI and we are looking into several ways to cooperate. Together we are stronger!
Tomorrow morning I will be returning back to Oslo for the weekend, while next week will be reserved work in London.

In April we will have a high level of activity in Palma, with several European events. Remember to sign up your colleagues and yourself while special fees are still available, both for conference and lodging.
