Annual Conference

Our annual CHME conference is our spotlight event, and it is not to be missed. Including renowned academia and industry keynote speakers from around the world, the CHME conference offers an invaluable opportunity to update knowledge and learn about new developments and best practices in hospitality.

The conference includes a mix of keynotes, plenary sessions, paper, and poster presentations, along with social events. There are also lots of opportunities for networking. In addition to full papers, we welcome work-in-progress papers which provide research students or new academics the opportunity to present their findings in a supportive and encouraging environment.
