The Hospitality Journey: Ideas that shape the Industry
Hosted by the Entrepreneurship Innovation Center at Framingham State University,
You'll learn how to turn an idea into a business, create memorable guest experiences, understand the numbers, build a brand, and explore what’s next for hospitality. Throughout the day, entrepreneurs and industry pros will share their real stories, challenges, and lessons learned.
This isn’t your typical conference, it’s all about real conversations and meaningful connections between today’s industry leaders and tomorrow’s students and entrepreneurs shaping hospitality and tourism.
