Our panel moderator is Barbara Kirklighter, Senior Director Sales Operations & Market Development - LA Inc. Barbara has more than 25 years in the hospitality industry working with major hotel brands and hotel management companies in the field of Revenue Strategy; helping to design and implement tactical revenue management systems and best practices. She will be offering an overview of 2009 conclusions and 2010 projections prior to the panel discussion; her primary talking points will be the critical challenge of managing hotel revenues in an unstable economy; working with various revenue resources; working with your own marketing team to manage the peaks and valleys; evaluating your STAR report and new resources available to aid in business development strategies.
But perhaps most importantly, with Barbara's help and that of your HSMAI board we have developed a program that solicits your voting participation in the selection of the items to be discussed. This is to be certain that our discussion is focused, topical and pertinent to you, the audience and members of HSMAI.
We are so confident that the panel and topics are so spectacular, that your HSMAI Board will guarantee that you will garner a minimum of three new strategies for tactical revenue management and best practices to implement that will considerably improve your "bottom line" results in both the short and long term. With our impressive panel of experts responding with all the energy, mental capacity, and a world of experience, it should yet again prove to be another robust and engaging example of the best HSMAI has to offer in our efforts to bring profound value to everyone's continued membership.
