Welcome to the EUHOFA Congress in Belgium!

We are honored to host the 63rd EUHOFA Congress in Belgium, the country that is home to the headquarters of both the European Union and NATO. The congress will take place in Ghent and Bruges, two medieval historic cities rich in cultural heritage. Accommodation throughout the congress will be in Ghent, Belgium’s trendy culinary capital with a wealth of top-tier establishments. 

The theme of the congress is ‘Artificial Intelligence in the Hospitality Industry’ and its impact on the future of hospitality education. International top speakers will share recent (academic) insights, and there will be numerous practical and interactive workshops, roundtable discussions, panel debates, curriculum development sessions, and networking opportunities with partners from both the education sector and the business world.

In short: an internationally relevant congress for every director and policy officer of hotel and/or tourism schools worldwide.

We look forward to welcoming you,Sabrina and Luc
Congress Co-Presidents
