Hospitality & Tourism Innovation: Exploring Inspiration Across Industry Lines.
10-13 NOVEMBER, 2025 | Join us as we explore the High Tech, High Touch Horizons: Leading Progress in Hospitality and Tourism. This dynamic conference will examine how innovation can propel our industry forward in a rapidly changing world.
EMEA CHRIE believes in continuous development of individuals. One way to do this, is to get hospitality academics and professionals from our EMEA CHRIE constituency across Europe, the Middle-East & Africa regions to explore mutual interests and building closer collaborative research and business networks.
The primary objective of EMEA CHRIE is to be an international network to foster the general advancement of teaching, learning, research and practice in the field of hospitality, tourism and events operations and management.
EMEA CHRIE works closely with industry and other organisations to encourage them giving support through financial resources or other means. More specifically, this involves encouraging corporations to join ICHRIE as corporate sponsors as well as recruiting corporate and individual industry members.
