Tuesday this week we completed our HSMAI ROC Europe and 7 HSMAI Europe Chief Officer Roundtables. You will see some interesting press coverage about the content next week.
Almost 90% said it was excellent or very good. That is even above our expectations and we are very happy and thankful. Almost 90% will attend next year’s physical event (if possible).
A big thank you to our sponsors, speakers and everyone attending. We can not wait to see you again in person!
See below for two of the questions we asked the participants. We are grateful that they would like to recommend HSMAI to their industry pairs

HSMAI Europe Board of Directors
The HSMAI Nomination Committee is responsible for developing a slate of candidates and consists of past board members and chairs.The HSMAI Nomination Committee consists of Martin Jørgensen (Chair), CEO at Foodback and Hans Poortvliet, former leader of HSMAI Holland.
The Board of Directors of the European Region of HSMAI is responsible for providing input for the strategic direction of the association. For now we are looking for board members that primarily are representing the hotel industry. The board meets two to three times a year. Each board member is expected to attend all meetings and actively engage in a minimum of one committee or task force during their term. Board member or board member companies are responsible for the costs of attending the meetings and maintaining a current corporate or organizational membership at HSMAI Region Europe. They will be elected for two years. Two or more of the european board members will also become global board members and attend HSMAI global board meetings together with Ingunn Hofseth, President & CEO, HSMAI Region Europe, once or twice a year.
