Most Talented Leaders Hospitality Challenge – 2023
The Most Talented Leaders Hospitality Challenge is competition that welcomes teams of hospitality students from different schools around the world. Our partners provide real life case studies based on problematics in need of solutions, therefore allowing participants to develop their leadership skills and relevant industry competencies.
This edition of the challenge will be divided into a semi-final, which will take place online, and a final, for which we would like to invite the remaining teams to meet us here, in Montreal.
Related activities include networking with other students as well as coaching sessions with our experts for better business know-how and sharing ideas and perspectives.
