HMC 2023 to boost management, investors’ performance to meet targets, get ROI

The chief executive officer and convener of Hotel Managers Conference (HMC), Olugbenga Omotayo Sunday, has promised to bring real time solutions to challenges facing the hospitality business at the 2023 edition of the HMC.

He said: “HMC 2023 scheduled to hold in Owerri, Imo State between July 13 and 14, with theme Performance Management: Managers and Owners Dilemma will paint a big picture on how to successfully sustain their businesses.

“Hospitality operation is centred on performance, goal setting, activation, monitoring, measurement and evaluation. Without performance, hospitality business, investors and management would lose their relevance as the business would no longer be sustainable.

“We hope that as we focus on this theme, we would clarify the dilemma for both management and investors, which stems from intrinsic perspective where both parties look to meet and surpass targets and get returns on investments.

“A lot of investments and costs go into sustaining hospitality facilities with the human resources and it is expected that there will be returns.

“This looks simple to a layperson but it is not to professions and the owners. The drive to achieve success, to have returns on investments is a big dilemma for all the parties involved.

“In this year’s Hotel Managers Conference, we have a mandate to simplify and clear common misconceptions and provide tested approaches to understanding and working as a team between managers and owners in the business as this would ensure returns for the business owners and the management.”

On sponsors checklist Sunday said “For Wakanow to come in as a sponsor, it speaks volumes about the multiple values inherent in HMC.

“HMC has consistently delivered values to managers from every aspect of the hospitality industry value chain. HMC had hosted some of the best brains in hospitality business, created high value networking, hosted suppliers and buyers of hospitality products and is fast becoming the annual tonic of motivation for the industry.

“All we did was to present our core opportunities to the management of Wakanow. Being a unique business minded organisation, they were able to sieve through and discovered the various opportunity points for their business and so, they took it.

“As the organisers, we are very impressed that Wakanow is sponsoring this event. Right now we have about eight sponsors and a number of partnerships, including LG Electronics Nigeria and Monty Suites.”
