H-TALK (23 April 2008)

In collaboration with CHESS Partnership and EnPassant Magazine, the Career Club organised an open panel discussion with 5 top industry leaders: Philipp Mosimann (Mosimann’s Collection, London), Des Gunewardena (D&D London), Beat Grau (Autogrill, Suisse), Matthias Draeger (SV Group) and Christian Delteil (Chess Executive). During the day the industry leaders, and their colleagues, interacted with students at round-table discussions and at a panel where 170 students from EHL, Les Roches and César Ritz hotel schools were able to ask questions directly to the leaders of the panel. It was a great chance for students and top industry professionals to interact in an open exchange of information.  After the panel, there was an apéro sponsored by Autogrill where the students could meet the panel members on a one-to-one basis. Following the apéro there was a dinner at the Berceau des Sens restaurant where Career Club members had a chance to network with the industry professionals.

We still keep in touch with them until today.
