An Update from John Fong
Dear EuroCHRIE Friends,
Greetings from The Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management (EAHM) – the Proud Host of EuroCHRIE Dubai 2014. As the Conference Chair, I’m delighted to hear of your interest in joining us for the Conference from 6 – 9 October 2014. A number of you have already registered but if you have yet to do so, please register as soon as possible so that we can include you on the list of confirmed delegates.
To date, we have about 176 registered delegates and as part of being the fun-loving, all-caring, Conference organisers that we are, (well, we’re a hospitality school after all and if we can’t get it right, something is wrong right? J), we will be communicating with you on a regular basis to ensure that your EuroCHRIE Dubai Conference experience is an enjoyable and memorable one!
If you are coming to Dubai for the very first time, we have prepared a “Getting Here & Arrival Tips” document just for you. You would notice that details such as visas, getting to EAHM from the airport etc. are all detailed in the document. We recommend that you print and bring this with you to Dubai. Emergency mobile numbers are also available in the document – do save those numbers into your phone just in case.
Regarding accommodation, we are recommending delegates to stay at either the Jumeirah Beach Hotel (Conference Hotel) or the Golden Tulip Al Barsha (which is offering complimentary shuttle service to the Conference). Please click here to see the details.
The Conference programme is also in its final drafts and if you are presenting a paper/poster, you should hear of your specific timeslot by mid-September. The various guidelines for paper/poster presenters and moderators are available for your perusal as well on the website.
We hope you can sense our excitement through our preparation efforts and our team can’t wait to personally welcome you at the Conference. On behalf of our Managing Director, Ron Hilvert and the entire Conference Organising team here at EAHM, we wish you the very best with your travel preparations and if you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
