ROC Middle East 2022 Highlights
HSMAI ME 2022 Flashback
-
ROC ME 2022 was very exceptional. Very informative, insightful, and educational at the same time. The digital media part has enriched and elevated the content to a very high level. Gathering commercial leaders from different segments and industries greatly added value to ROC 2022. Great job Mona and team!

Thanks again for the great event last week, which has been so many months in the making. A few comments from my side, feel free to use and quote on social media: “It was absolutely delightful to connect again with peers from the hotel industry after a long time! Having senior leaders such as HE Issam Kazim, CEO of the Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing Dubai, lay out their view on the future of hospitality in Dubai, framed the event and gave us all a sense of direction. Inspirational keynote speakers, energetic panel debates and refreshing presentations of the next-generation commercial leaders made this event special. Hosted at our prestigious Conrad Dubai Hotel, the team ensured this event would be carbon-neutral at no extra cost to the delegates! A big thank you to the HSMAI Middle East team, in particular to Mona Faraj, for making this an event to remember!
