Hilton and the Leland C. and Mary M. Pillsbury Institute for Hospitality Entrepreneurship are partnering at Cornell to bring you the 2025 Hospitality Hackathon
The guest experience is at the core of the hospitality industry. Technology can be a tool used to enhance exceptional experiences. This year’s event will dive into the guest’s digital experience and how these tools can be used to drive engagement and satisfaction.
