The year continues to be a busy one in the EMEA region with the upcoming forums in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Helsinki, Madrid, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Brussels and London and of course the Global Education Conference in Barcelona in October.
Within these sessions, we are tackling a number of important issues in the industry, such as how to do business in emerging markets, security and managing the new hotel pricing strategies within a corporate policy –n please refer to the education calendar for the full details of each forum.
We are also now starting to schedule our executive forums for 2007 and as we continue to grow, our coverage of where the forums take place expands across the region. The forums next year will look to take place in Paris, Brussels, Scandinavia, South Africa, Spain, Dubai, London, Germany, Italy, Zurich and Amsterdam.
In addition to the educational benefits of being an ACTE member, we are also starting to work on some additional EMEA member benefits that will show a real tangible advantage to being a member of the association. Be sure to keep checking the webpage for updates of the benefits that are available if you join, and for our existing members, we will of course e-mail you with any updates.
As always, we welcome any feedback you have on the work we are doing in your region, and please do let us know if you would like an executive forum held near to you, or if you feel there are issues affecting the industry that we should be addressing.
We are a member driven association, and our success is dependant on the participation of our members.
Please feel free to contact anyone in the EMEA team at any time for any queries you may have.
Many thanks
Jo Lloyd
Regional Director – EMEA
