3. Future of Hospitality Summit (FHS) 2016 is a two-day hospitality
Summit autonomously run by a group of extremely enthusiastic
students from Les Roches International School of Hotel Management -
one of the best hospitality schools in the world. The event will take
place in the school premises itself.
Innovation summits and hospitality summits have become the norm of
today, however, a Hospitality Innovation Summit is a rare sight. That is
where FHS is undeniably unique, and what better team to have behind
a multi-dimensional and game-changing event, other than
an enthusiatic group of future hospitality graduates.
FHS 2016 seeks to inspire and educate aspiring young hospitality
graduates on the exciting latest trends and groundbreaking innovations
in the hospitality industry. FHS will deliver a comprehensive holistic
experience to participants, showcasing the countless possibilities
within the hospitality industry. Through the vast range of activities
planned, we will challenge their pre-held conceptions and aim to spur
our participants to strive for greater obstacles and garner
more courage to face, and shape, the Future of Hospitality.
Very similar to the brains behind the event, FHS 2016 sets to attract
like-minded promising students from only the best hospitality schools.
Hopefully, bringing together a pool of ambitious and talented
hospitality students into the summit.
Venturing into its second edition, FHS 2016 will also look to bring in
professionals of the trade to participate in this event. From the
amount of experience this group of participants bring to
the table, an enhanced level of discussion would surface as
both students and professionals exchange insights.

“ “
4. The words “Future” and “Hospitality” are very powerful for aspiring
young hospitality graduates such as ourselves.
FHS preaches bringing together game-changing concepts of tomorrow.
FHS believes in embracing the ever-changing dynamics of
the hospitality world. FHS is the frontier of charging that change and
fast-track participants into The Next Big Thing.
What better way to showcase that vision than to boldly proclaim the
spirit behind the summit through the continual change of colors with
every edition? The signature symbol of FHS will always remain, but the
colors will constantly be a reflection of the changing times and years.
FHS is a summit and an opportunity for all to find a place of
unfamiliarity and discomfort, a summit where the landscape is so
frequently changed to challenge the mind for fresh ideas that
will bring together what will shape the future.
FHS is The Constant Change.
