Revenue Managers Flock To 5 Cities For HSMAI's ROC Events

For the first time in its history, the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International (HSMAI) will host its Revenue Optimization Conference (ROC) in a total of five major cities around the world in 2018: Amsterdam, Singapore, Houston, Sao Paolo, and Dubai. The conference convenes hotel revenue executives for education, collaboration, and innovation.

Each year, ROC delivers the most compelling and comprehensive revenue management event for the hotel industry.

"Building upon the value of continuing to offer these conferences in the United States, Europe, and Asia Pacific, HSMAI is proud to be able to extend the reach of ROC's programming to South America and the Middle East," said Robert A. Gilbert, CHME, CHA, president and CEO of HSMAI. "While there will of course be common threads throughout all of the conferences, we're eager to see what unique insights into revenue management come out of the conferences in each region."
