[Excerpt] The Spring 2007 Roundtable season at the Center for Hospitality Research was a strong one, with research presentations and discussion that is absent at conferences elsewhere. This past May we held the first annual Real Estate and Finance Roundtable, the third annual Marketing Roundtable, and the seventh annual Labor and Employment Law Roundtable. While each Roundtable differed in substance and style, there was one constant: that is, industry professionals, faculty, and students were able to spend one concentrated day in an informal atmosphere to learn from each other. The most common parting comment from our participants was the best one: “See you next year.” Below is an overview of some of the key discussion points from the Spring 2007 Roundtables.
