- WHAT WE DO -

THE HOSPITALITY LAW CONFERENCE - SERIES 2.0

From development deals to management agreements, from food and beverage liability to labor and employment, and from claims management to anti-trust issues, the latest cases, trends and challenges in compliance, finance, law, risk, safety, and security are up for exploration at The Hospitality Law Conference – Series 2.0.

GLOBAL TRAVEL RISK SUMMIT

The Global Travel Risk Summit delivers intensive education via presentations, roundtables, and real-world immersion sessions (pitting crisis management teams against political and disaster scenarios), with exceptional networking opportunities for everyone involved in business travel. The GTRS departs from the traditional conference format and challenges participants to engage scenarios involving business travel risk management by working with a diverse team of cross-functional professionals to develop training policies, discuss legal concerns, decide whether or not to evacuate, and more. If you have a stake in business travel, we designed this event specifically to augment your professional toolbox.
