Founded in 1996, the Annual Graduate Education and Graduate Students Research Conference in Hospitality and Tourism has been instrumental in promoting academic and research exchange and furthering research development in the hospitality and tourism field for more than two decades. The Conference has four specific objectives: (1) providing a platform for the exchange of cutting-edge research in the field of hospitality and tourism; (2) fostering a healthy research culture in the field of hospitality and tourism; (3) providing a forum for networking among and between graduate students and faculty members in hospitality and tourism; and (4) serving as a career mart for graduate students who are completing their terminal degrees. Over the years, the Conference has developed into an important research and networking forum for graduate students and faculty in hospitality and tourism.

While this conference has been designed for graduate students and faculty, undergraduate students, and industry professionals with an interest in graduate education should consider attending.

The conference will take place  at the Doubletree by Hilton Anaheim/Orange County in Orange, California on Friday, January 6 and on Saturday, January 7 (on-site registration open on Thursday, January 5).
