The Boston University School of Hospitality Administration Leadership Summit 2024 showcased in a very real, physical way what we mean when we say: Experience Innovation. I am walking in my purpose, and I am walking with the best: my smart, dynamic Co-Chair Mara Littman, my ambitious colleague Kaushik Vardharajan who led the Innovation Competition, our fearless leader Arun Upneja and the students on the planning committee who represent the future.
