Council for Hospitality Management Education 2023
Annual Conference 23-26 May 2023.
Welcome to the Hotel Management School, NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands.
‘Game-changers in the hospitality industry and education’
The CHME2023 Conference theme.
The conference theme for CHME2023 is Game-changers in the hospitality industry and education. 2020 and 2021 have been unprecedented years for the hospitality industry and hospitality education due to the Covid pandemic, on top of existing structural challenges around staffing, sustainability, globalisation, security and technology. 2023 should therefore be a time of getting back to thinking about the future and the many possibilities it offers, while at the same time using the creativity and innovation that got us through the pandemic to become future proof game-changes in the hospitality industry. The term ‘game-changers’ is designed to capture the kind of research that we must conduct and graduates that we must produce if they are to survive and lead our industry and educational field into the future.
The Tracks and Track chairs for CHME2023 are as follows:
Hospitality Management (Sarah Rawlinson/Alisha Ali)
Critical and cultural studies of hospitality (Peter Lugosi)
Learning, teaching and assessment in hospitality management education (Lisa Wyld)
Game changers in the hospitality industry and education (Robert Coelen)
This track aims to showcase the many opportunities and constraints, as well as the novel scenarios and trends that a post-Covid world offers. It welcomes papers on innovative ideas, initiatives and case studies where individuals and organisations have dared to think differently, in a creative disruptive way. The post-Covid world is in many ways very different from what came before, and this has implications for hospitality educators, for recruiters and HR departments, for those working in hospitality-related fields such as healthcare and travel, and for future-proofing our education and our industry to produce graduates who display organisational citizenship, servant leadership and hostmanship to the colleagues and guests.
Sustainability, Circularity, Localisation, and Globalisation (Elena Cavagnaro/Paul Lynch)
This track aims to prompt further discussion and showcase how the hospitality sector can contribute to the themes of the Sustainable Development and transition to the Circular Economy, to the Climate Change debate, as well as how such a sector can help to rethink the ‘local-global’ tension after the COVID-19 crisis. It welcomes papers on environmental and social sustainability, inclusiveness and diversity, social and environmental justice, food waste reduction and single use plastics reduction, green mobility, as well as on pro-sustainability nudging for staff and guests. This means welcoming insights, case studies, best practices, and critical studies that can display to what extent the hospitality sector is responding to the challenges posited in a creative, disruptive, and constructive way.

Buying train tickets at Schiphol
The train journey will be done with an NS train (NS = ‘Nederlandse Spoorwegen’, the Dutch train company). The train ticket will cost around €25 for a single trip.
To by your train ticket, you have two options:
1. Use the ‘OV Service & Tickets’ at Schiphol Plaza. Here, one of the employees will help you with buying a ticket to Leeuwarden Central Station. Please do not forget to check in with your ticket at the NS check-in poles. Checking out only needs to be done in Leeuwarden Central Station. If you are using the non-direct train, you do not need to check out in the transfer station Zwolle. Checking out in Leeuwarden is sufficient. The NS employee can explain more about this.
2. Use one of the ticket machines at the Plaza.
a. Select English or any other language.
b. Here you can order your ticket by using the ‘buy a separate ticket (single-use chipkaart)’. Payment can be done by credit card (+ €0,50 transaction costs) or cash money (coins only).
