2017 CUw Sports & HOSPITALITY                                   Networking Roundtable

10/3/2017

0 Comments

 

Important Internship Details

Dates: Nov. 2, 2017
Location: Concordia University
               Milwaukee, WI

Commitment: 5-7:30pm
Cost: Free

Description

In short, up to 50 experts in the overlapping sport, entertainment, hospitality and event management industries (and associates if they choose) will be situated at individual tables in our new Pharmacy Building. The intention is to invite a wide selection of experts ranging in age,experience, organizational role, industry type, etc. Undergraduate and graduate students will meet with the different experts that align with their career goals or interests. They can meet with 1 expert or 20 – whatever they can fit in 2.5 hours.

Compared to a traditional panel discussion, the roundtable is a much more individualized experience for the experts and the attendees – and that has led to its popularity and effectiveness. As a faculty member we use this event to reinforce the importance of networking and mentoring; to expand students’ visions on careers available in these massive industries; and (of course) to provide essential perspective not found within the walls of a classroom.

For students, this is an opportunity to meet with experts in small groups or one-on-one. They’ll get expand their professional networks and skills in this area, and get feedback on things ranging from specific industry trends to entering the business, job skills the expert views as important, etc.

Students are encouraged to reach out prior to the event, set informational interviews during the event, and follow up after the event. Hopefully the networking leads to an internship and, most importantly, it speeds the time to a job after graduation.

To date, we presently have 46 experts who represent 42 organizations in sport, hospitality, entertainment (including food and beverage), and events. The List of experts is below.
