Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI), a global organization of sales and marketing professionals representing all segments of the hospitality industry, announced another service contract with Certain Software®.

For the fourth consecutive year, HSMAI has chosen Certain Software's Register123 online registration service as the official online registration provider for HSMAI's Affordable Meetings® series.

HSMAI's Affordable Meetings is a series of industry specific conferences and trade shows that bring together full-time, part-time and volunteer meeting planners at one national and two regional events each year.

Certain Software's Register123 will be used for online registration at HSMAI's Affordable Meetings Mid-America exposition and conference in Chicago (April 2-3, 2003), HSMAI's Affordable Meetings West exposition and conference in San Jose (June 11-12, 2003) and HSMAI's Affordable Meetings National exposition and conference in Washington D.C. (September 3-4, 2003).

"We are thrilled with the strength of our relationship with HSMAI," said James A. Pappas, Certain Software president and CEO.

"For three years we have successfully provided HSMAI's Affordable Meetings attendees easy and reliable registration for the conference, and are looking forward to the fourth installment of this series. We take great pride in participating at each conference and appreciate the educational value these events bring to the meeting and event planning industry."

"We've found Certain Software's Register123 to be an extremely flexible and customizable way for us to register our attendees," said Rory O'Moore, vice president of Customer Service at GLM, the management company that organizes these events for HSMAI.

"The service has met our needs for three consecutive years, and we are confident this year will be equally successful. Our attendees enjoy the convenience of online registration, and as a planner I appreciate the reporting and control functions Register123 offers."
