Hot on the heels of wide-ranging industry events such as the BHA’s Tourism & Hospitality Summit, and last month's Boutique Hotel Summit, it is now the turn of hotel sales and marketing to shine.
 

Places are still available for the 7th annual National Hotel Marketing Conference, which takes place on Friday (28th June) at St George's Park, the Football Association's brand new £100m centre of excellence near Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire. Bookings for the event are coming in fast from hotel groups, consortia and some of the country’s finest independent hotels, and over 100 people are already registered for the conference.
 

The National Hotel Marketing Conference is the only full day marketing conference in the UK this year.  15 speakers will present on the hottest topics affecting the industry, and specialist marketing suppliers and agencies will be on hand to showcase their latest products and services. 
 

The keynote speech at the conference, on “Pushing the Boundaries in Hotel Marketing” will be given by one of the UK’s leading marketers, Mike Ashton, a former Senior Vice-President of Marketing for Hilton Hotels. The full programme for the conference is at www.hotelmarketing.org.uk, or call the conference office on 01904 438100 or email conference@thetourismbusiness.com.
