"My favorite part is when the participants get lively in their debates. It's always good to see some healthy conflict of opinions and thoughts--and to see how the participants justify and defend their positions. These instances always make for a very interesting discussion."
Timothy Chen '13

Through this experience, I was able to observe the tremendous insight and value created for the hospitality industry at these events."
