The Future Hospitality Summit Saudi Arabia, taking place in Riyadh, from May 11 to 13, will host the region’s first NextGen Investment Forum to address the challenges – and opportunities – surrounding education, training and talent retention in KSA’s growing hospitality sectors.
Investing in the next generation of leaders in hospitality is fundamental to delivering KSA’s Vision 2030 goals, according to industry experts, who will come together at FHS to explore and discuss issues such as bridging skill gaps, creating new pathways to career growth, empowering Saudi nationals and encouraging more women to take up a career in hospitality. The event takes place on the first day of FHS Saudi Arabia, May 11, from 3:00pm, with more than 30 speakers set to take part. The NextGen Investment Forum aims to help develop a knowledgeable, capable workforce through partnerships with government entities, giga projects, universities, international education industry leaders and innovative tech companies, in turn creating a comprehensive ecosystem that supports education and career development. The initiative will also facilitate public-private partnerships to drive innovation and investment in education.
