They heard from legendary professors including Professor Cathy Enz on Innovation and Effective Change Management, Professor Stowe Shoemaker on Marketing Strategy in the Hospitality Industry, and from Professor Chekitan Dev on B.I.G. Ideas focusing on practical & profitable Best practices. As Erik Robson, Ely Restaurants, said:
"Cornell is clearly a very special place of learning and I feel extremely fortunate that, with the help of Fáilte Ireland, I was able to attend such an esteemed and beautiful university. The calibre of the educators and the attention from the school were second to none".
