The Tourism & Hospitality Conference and Careers Fair is a flagship event that brings together leading professionals, emerging talent, and rising graduates to examine the most pressing issues facing the sector today.
This year’s conference focuses on the pivotal theme of Gen Z and the Future of Work in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry. The programme offers a dynamic forum where students, academics, and industry leaders can exchange perspectives on the changing nature of work, the expectations of new generations entering the workforce, and the challenges of creating sustainable and inclusive workplaces for the future.
Throughout the event, Bournemouth University students and academics will engage with high-profile guest speakers, gaining exposure to cutting-edge knowledge, innovative practices, and real-world insights from across the industry. Panel discussions, keynote presentations, and interactive sessions will foster dialogue on contemporary topics ranging from workforce development to leadership, technology, and talent retention.
The Tourism and Hospitality team at BU continues its long-standing tradition of building strong partnerships with industry, nurturing graduates who are both inspired and well-prepared for successful careers. A key highlight of the event is the annual BU Tourism & Hospitality Careers Fair, which attracts top employers on both a regional and national scale, providing students with invaluable opportunities to connect directly with potential future employers.
As a unique meeting point of ideas, innovation, and opportunity, the event reinforces BU’s position as a driving force in advancing the future of the tourism and hospitality sector.
