The ROC ME Commercial Strategy Conference

Since 2003, HSMAI’s Revenue Optimization Conference (ROC) has been the place where hotel revenue leaders unite for education, collaboration, and innovation in the US. The significance of commercial, revenue, sales, and marketing joining forces meant that we had to rebrand to a Commercial Strategy Conference whilst keeping the strong brand equity of ROC in the Middle East.

Annually, our ROC ME Commercial Strategy Conference has been delivering the most compelling and comprehensive content for the hotel industry to address critical trends affecting executives in hotels today. This signature conference takes place yearly in the Americas, Europe, APAC, and since 2018, the Middle East.

THE 7TH ANNUAL COMMERCIAL STRATEGY CONFERENCE ROC ME 2024
26 and 27 November 2024 (Tuesday, and Wednesday)

In 2024, we aim to attract more executives across all commercial disciplines from global, regional, and independent brands.
