The day will provide a platform for tourism industry professionals, students of tourism and academics to participate in debate and discussion about current issues affecting tourism and its related sectors.
“The School of Tourism is taking a leading role in stimulating provocative discussion about topics that affect the livelihood of all those involved in tourism. We are bringing practitioners and researchers of international standing together to talk about the Tourism Industry” Dr David Solnet, Director of Industry Partnership, School of Tourism.
The focus of the Industry Leaders Forum (ILF) is sustainability, leadership and excellence in business practices across the Tourism arena. The School of Tourism has partnered with Brisbane Marketing to present this forum, providing leading members of Queensland’s business and political community the opportunity to hear pre-imminent speakers explore trends, issues and ideas that are shaping the nature of our global industry, while facilitating high–level networking opportunities.
The Meet the Industry Leaders Event invites students from the School to meet representatives of Australia’s industry, peak organisations and government bodies across the spectrum of events, hospitality, leisure, recreation, sport and tourism.
The Adjunct Professor’s Discussion Panel is a student only event providing the opportunity to discuss and gain insights into global issues affecting industry with the distinguished panel of recognized world leaders in Tourism and its related sectors.
