2nd Wine & Hospitality Management Workshop May 14-15, 2018 at Ecole hoteliere de Lausanne (EHL)

The center of expertise for W&S Management is co-organizing the second edition of the Wine & Hospitality Management Workshop to be held in Lausanne (Ecole hôtelière) in May 2018. This edition follows the one that we welcomed in April 2017 at KEDGE Business School to launch the Alliance for Research on Wine & Hospitality Management.

This small-scale, high quality conference will allow for intense interactions between participants and offer a platform for academics and practitioners alike. All papers will be reviewed by the selection committee. The workshop is intended for presentation of papers-in-progress that can benefit from discussion.

This Workshop is a regular event jointly organized by the Alliance for Research on Wine & Hospitality Management created in 2017 by the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Hotel & Tourism Management, Kedge Business School and the Free University of Bozen/Bolzano. The Alliance aims to promote excellent research in the fields of Wine & Hospitality management.
