Young Hoteliers Summit (YHS) 2021 | Everything you need to know

The Young Hoteliers Summit is a yearly international hospitality event organized by students of the Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL). The summit has been hosted at EHL every year since its introduction in 2010, given the current circumstances it will take place as a virtual summit this year. The event features international keynote-speakers, panel discussions and a YHS-challenge, whereby students work on a realistic, unique project that is in turn provided by an international hospitality company acting as the challenge provider.

SMACK-Host Fritz Dickamp sat down with 3 members of this years organizing team (Megan Tang, Core Member ++ Christina Klaas, Co-head of Speakers ++ Alex Radojevic, Co-head of Speakers) and discussed everything you need to know about this years summit, including what the topic of this years summit will be, which speakers we can look forward to and how the organization of such an event comes together.

Enjoy the show!
