Working in the hospitality industry means working with diverse people and organizations from multicultural backgrounds and having different characteristics. Thus, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (or DEI) are always the most caring topics and issues for the hospitality and tourism industry nowadays. However, with lack of life experiences and industry insights, how can hospitality students adapt and show the best skills in this environment?

A ROUNDTABLE ON “CULTIVATING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN HOSPITALITY” will explore DEI topics both broadly and deeply in navigating difficult conversations, exploring unconscious bias and uncovering bias, identifying solutions to organizational challenges, and fostering inclusive company culture.

• What is DEI? What isn’t?
• Challenges in achieving DEI
• Best practices in cultivating and maintaining the culture of DEI

This session will be joined by our speakers who are prestigious leaders of hospitality organizations worldwide including:  

• Gerry A.  Fernandez – President & Founder, THE MULTICULTURAL FOOD SERVICE & HOSPITALITY ALLIANCE
• Thanakarn (Bella) Vongvisitsin – Co-founder & CEO, INCLUSIVE TOURISM ASIA LIMITED
• Koko Tiamsai – Internal Communications, Diversity & Inclusion Senior Specialist, FOODPANDA
• Hanh Ngo – Director of Human Resources, INTERCONTINENTAL HANOI LANDMARK72
