The Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International (HSMAI) held its annual sales and marketing summit, which included educational seminars and a trade show with products and services suited to hotel sales and marketing executives.
One highlight included an awards luncheon sponsored by The New York Times on Friday afternoon. At the luncheon, attendees recognized HSMAI members who recently completed the organization's Certified Hospitality Marketing Executive (CHME) program, and the group's outgoing chairman, Peter Warren, CHME, passed the gavel to the new chairman, Bill Weld, CHME.
