HOT HOSPITALITY EVENTS
SOCIAL MEDIA & EVENTS
HELLO I'M SABRINA MEYERS!
Founder, Vlogger, Moderator, Speaker & Eventprof
With over 16 years of experience in the event management and hospitality sales industry, I continue to build my expertise and thought leadership within the space of social media and events.
An early adopter, a risk taker, experimental by nature and a natural born creative, I am passionate about social media and work with brands and businesses on social media strategy and marketing to optimise and maximise their online visibility for their events, community and brand awareness.
As one of the industry's first Vlogger's, I founded my brand Hot Hospitality Exchange in 2017 as a space where I create online content from the perspective of an event planner for event professionals across Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.

I have been part of numerous industry panels, blogs and podcasts as speaker and guest and am also an experienced event moderator/emcee (online and in-person) having moderated many high-profile virtual events for organisations such as EventMB to Swapcard and am also one of the judges for The Event Technology Awards 2021 from Eventtech LIVE.
I'm born and raised in Singapore, have lived and worked in Australia and the United Kingdom and currently reside with my little family working remotely from just outside Cologne, Germany.
