The global T.H.E. higher education field is facing one of the most exciting and trying times in its history. Amid the ongoing pandemic, T.H.E. higher education institutions across the world are grappling with unprecedented disruption and a need for rapid, dramatic transformation. The abruptly digitalized T.H.E. higher education experience also calls for immediate reflection on curriculum innovation and field revolution. Altogether, the current time presents an opportunity to initiate global academia-industry dialogue, focusing on collaboration and ingenuity to transform tomorrow’s global

T.H.E. industry.

Against this backdrop, T.H.E. Summit 2021 provides an innovative virtual platform to foster connections among institutions, geographic regions, industry, and academia. The theme of this year's T.H.E.

Summit 2021 aims to drive innovations in T.H.E. higher education by sharing best practices in translational research and transformative education. This Summit, through various presentations and panel sessions on a range of contemporary T.H.E. higher education topics, will offer a one-of-a-kind platform for T.H.E. higher education stakeholders from academia and industry alike: attendees can fuse their perspectives and explore how to cope with unprecedented challenges and opportunities to promote sustainable innovation in tourism, hospitality, events, and related industries.
