HSMAI and HFTP Think Tank is taking place in Palma de Mallorca on Thursday April 11th – the day after our annual conference, the ROC & DOC and during HITEC Europe. The Think Tank will take place at MELIÁ PALMA BAY & Palau de Congressos, Palma. Registration and breakfast from 07:45 and the educational starts at 08:15 and last until 10:15. This event is by invitation only!

“The Strategic Integration of Marketing and Technologies” will be the topic for the Think Tank.

HSMAI and HFTP’s Think Tank on “The Strategic Integration of Marketing and Technologies” will invite Europe-based hospitality CMOs (or executives with marketing responsibilities) and CIOs/CTOs to a roundtable discussion about fostering collaboration between the two roles. Our target audience is 20 executives — half marketing and half information technology — with both HSMAI Region Europe and HFTP extending invitations to achieve this targeted mix. Tables will be arranged in a single, unbroken U-shape to help foster intimate, unguarded dialogue, with a roundtable for staff and other observers in the back of the room.

HFTP will be responsible for inviting CIOs/CTOs while HSMAI is inviting CMOs or heads of marketing.

The two-hour program (8:15–10:15 a.m., with a breakfast reception from 7:45 to 8:15 a.m.) will be powered by a series of questions that participants will answer using a live-polling platform.

Robyn Pratt, Managing Director, Impact Consulting, will guide participants through the questions and answers, encouraging them to discuss the obstacles that exist between the two roles and to identify potential best practices for cooperation and collaboration moving forward. Post-event content will be produced for both HSMAI and HFTP members.

Pending the review of lessons learned at this Think Tank, HSMAI and HFTP will host a second, parallel program in Minneapolis on Thursday, June 20, 2019.
