Thirty Under 30 Shaping the Future of Hospitality

Session details:

Hospitality’s next chapter is being written by a generation bringing new priorities, sharper perspectives, and a different approach to leadership. In this conversation, Hotel Management’s “Thirty Under 30” 2026 honorees discuss how they’re building careers while rethinking long-held industry norms.

They’ll share real-world perspectives on adopting technology, evolving the guest experience, and advocating for more balanced, inclusive workplace cultures, along with honest reflections on what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change. Attendees will gain fresh insight into how to connect with, develop, and empower emerging talent across their organizations.

The Emerging Leaders Program is presented by the Hospitality and Tourism Management Program at Florida Atlantic University's College of Business.
