Reflecting on 2024 and opening the door to New Opportunities in 2025
As the festive season is just around the corner, we find ourselves reflecting on a year that has been both incredibly special and deeply sad. This year we experienced significant milestones, great achievements and felt the support of our incredible community. However, we also said goodbye to two very important people; Bob Gilbert and Leif Evensen, who made a lasting impact on all of us. Their legacy continues to inspire and guide us as we move forward.
Christmas and New Year’s are a time to celebrate what we have achieved, honour those we’ve lost, and look ahead with renewed hope and determination.
Kicking Off 2025 with HSMAI Europe Commercial Strategy Week
As we get ready to turn the page to 2025, we are excited to kick off the year with the HSMAI Europe Commercial Strategy Week this upcoming January in London. We have prepared an incredible line-up of activities designed to inspire, educate, and connect hospitality professionals from across the region.
Additionally, HSMAI Europe once again wishes to showcase the excellent work happening in our industry through the HSMAI Europe Awards. The HSMAI Awards Europe will recognise the people and companies that deserve to be awarded for their great work in 2024. These awards are an opportunity to celebrate outstanding achievements within the hospitality industry.
If you haven’t registered yet, now’s the perfect time! You won’t want to miss this opportunity to gain insights, celebrate industry excellence, and build connections that will drive your success in the year ahead.
What’s Next for 2025?
Looking beyond January, we’re in the process of preparing for an exciting year ahead with:
Stronger local presence across the region
