Michael Tchong event successful

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association (HSMAI*) Curacao  hosted a very succesful event, which featured Trend Analyzer’ Michael Tchong on May 29 2008.

Michael Tchong (USA) has enlightened audiences throughout the world with his humorous, but always pointed, analysis of the hundreds of trends he tracks in more than 14 categories, ranging from automotive to lifestyle to food to marketing to technology to travel to wellness and much more.

Michael Tchong took the attendees in the auditorium of the Central Bank of the Netherlands Antilles on a breathtaking tour of the consumer landscape, all the while contextualizing a host of trends that a casual observer might miss.
The presentation was of great value not only for sales and marketing professionals, who showed up en masse but for everyone in charge of innovation and strategy for his/her organization.

The presentation was very well attended by a broad representation of local business owners and employees, including accommodations, consultants, the financial sector, law offices and tourism related companies.

HSMAI Curacao thanks the organizations that supported this event namely: Central Bank of the Netherlands Antilles, Breezes Curacao, Dragonfly Media, Explore Curacao, Thrifty Car Rental and The Wine Factory.
HSMAI will continue to organize similar events all through 2008. For updates please visit www.hsmaicuracao.org or become a member.
