Ingunn Hofseth, President & CEO HSMAI Region Europe

HSMAI Region Europe is launching a number of new pan- European activities and entering new European markets.

Brussels is one of the new markets for HSMAI. The world is becoming more accessible through increased use of social media, forcing companies to compete on a number of platforms, against a growing number of competitors.This is where we believe HSMAI plays a valuable role within the industry. Through sharing knowledge and experience we encourage companies to learn from one another and share their skills to help the industry reach its true potential and overcome the new challenges hiding behind the next corner.

  • 14:40 Event Trend Barometer Survey 2017

Great corporate culture doesn’t happen on its own accord and more and more companies use events to build their culture, and also more companies use events as part of their marketing strategy. HSMAI Region Europe have worked out an annual barometer for the developments in the event market – the HSMAI Event Trend Barometer – and the survey will now take place in several countries, in close cooperation with local and international partners.
