University of Houston’s Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership to Launch Online Bachelor of Science and Doctorate at HITEC 2024

The University of Houston Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership, a global leader in hospitality and tourism education, announced today that it will sponsor and exhibit at the Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference ( HITEC) 2024, the largest and most influential hotel technology event. The College will use this opportunity to launch its Bachelor of Science in Global Hospitality Leadership and online Doctorate in Global Hospitality Leadership. These new additions align well with the existing online Executive Master of Hospitality Management.

The online BS degree serves as a gateway to leadership roles within the rapidly evolving hospitality industry. This degree offers a flexible and innovative educational experience designed to enhance students’ leadership abilities and elevate their perspectives on a global scale.

The online Doctorate in Global Hospitality Leadership is designed for working professionals and executives who want to advance their careers and contribute to the knowledge and practice of the hospitality and tourism industry. The program offers a flexible and rigorous curriculum that covers topics such as strategic management, innovation, analytics, sustainability and social responsibility. The program also provides students with the opportunity to network with industry leaders, conduct applied research, and participate in global learning experiences.

We are very excited to sponsor and exhibit at HITEC 2024 and present our programs online, said Dr. Dennis Reynolds, dean of the Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership. These programs are game-changers for the hospitality and tourism industry, as they will prepare the next generation of leaders and scholars capable of meeting the complex and dynamic challenges of the global marketplace. We are proud to partner with HITEC, the premier platform for showcasing the latest innovations and trends in hotel technology.

HITEC 2024 will take place in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA at the Charlotte Convention Center from June 24 to 27. The event will feature over 300 exhibitors, over 50 educational sessions and thousands of attendees from around the world. The Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership will have a significant presence at the event, providing speakers, a booth in the exhibit hall and a presence of its logo throughout the event.

We are delighted to have the Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership as a sponsor and exhibitor at HITEC 2024, said Frank Wolfe, CEO of Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP), the organization that produces HITEC. It makes sense that the leader in hospitality and tourism education would introduce its online degrees in global hospitality leadership at HITEC 2024, produced by the only global association representing finance and technology; we look forward to welcoming them and their alumni to HITEC 2024.
