FAQs

1. What is my username and password (to log into the HSMAI website)?

Access to all the resources and information on the HSMAI website is restricted in many areas to just HSMAI members. In order to view the site with all the member resources, you must log in as an HSMAI Member with your unique username and password.

Upon your first login to the HSMAI website, your username is likely your email address and your password is your last name (unless you set them otherwise). These are case-sensitive, and you can change them any time in the My HSMAI area.  If you can’t remember your username or password, please use the “Forgot Password” option. This will immediately return your username and give you the option to email you a password.  Please use the email you would have indicated for HSMAI communications.

9. How can I market my company's services or position my company with HSMAI members?

HSMAI offers three categories of partnership and positioning opportunities for companies to be recognized as thought leaders in front of the industry-at-large: Strategy, Content, & Leadership.

Strategy includes face-to-face positioning and networking at HSMAI’s signature conferences and events, including the Adrian Awards Gala, Digital Marketing Strategy Conference, Revenue Optimization Conference, local chapter programs, and more. By partnering at these events, your company is positioned to showcase your services and create a lasting impression with a targeted audience.

Content allows a company to develop their presence in the industry through thought leadership and directed insights. This category supports the educational resources made available to all HSMAI members including HSMAI University webinars, white papers, special reports, publications, the HSMAI Insights weekly newsletter, and HSMAI Foundation research.

Leadership provides positioning opportunities at invitation-only executive forums and exclusive meetings used to discuss industry challenges, strategies, and best practices among networks of like-minded senior leaders. These meetings include Executive Roundtables for chief marketing officers, hotel management company sales & marketing executives, chief revenue officers, chief sales officers, and digital marketing officers.
