In our effort to honor the long-term active collaboration with the industry, CHR, on behalf of the School, is organizing the second Cornell Hospitality Research Summit during October 8-9th 2012 at our Ithaca campus. This event will bring together approximately 300 industry leaders and academic scholars so that they can participate in live, interesting and engaging conversation related to contemporary issues facing the industry.
The conference will begin with a CEO panel that Dean Johnson will moderate. Following the keynote session, the conference will feature a series of presentation and workshop sessions related to the conference theme (Service Excellence and Performance Growth in the Global Hospitality Industry: Strategies and Approaches for Navigating Forward). Both academic scholars and industry executives are invited to present during the conference.
