Summer Conference vs. Winter Conference: A Tale of Two CHART Events

Picture yourself in the dynamic world of hospitality training, where knowledge is not just a luxury, but a necessity for success. In this vibrant industry, two distinctive events stand out on the calendar: the Council of Hotel and Restaurant Trainers (CHART) Summer Hospitality Training Conference and the Winter Hospitality Training Competencies Conference. Each of these gatherings has its own unique flavor, offering a tantalizing array of experiences for those dedicated to mastering the art of hospitality training.

The Summer Hospitality Training Conference: Where Inspiration Meets Implementation

Every summer, members gather in a vibrant hub of innovation, camaraderie, and learning. This event is the time when hospitality trainers come together to explore the very latest trends, best practices, and practical ideas that can be immediately applied in their organizations.

Thought leaders take center stage, illuminating the path forward in the ever-evolving world of hospitality training. Attendees soak up knowledge like a sponge as they gain fresh perspectives and actionable strategies that they can bring back to their teams.

But it's not just about the knowledge; it's also about the celebration of dedication. Here, we recognize the Commitment to People awards and scholarships. It's a chance to applaud the champions of training, the individuals and organizations committed to nurturing talent in the hospitality industry.

The Winter Hospitality Training Competencies Conference: Where Competency is in the Spotlight

As the season’s chill descends, the winter conference offers a different kind of warmth – the warmth of professional development, skill-building, and competency enhancement. This event is all about the nuts and bolts of hospitality training, focusing on the core competencies essential for trainers to excel in their roles.

Here, the spotlight shines on twelve competency certificate workshops, curated into four distinct tracks: Executive, Manager, Trainer, and Instructional Designer. Each of these tracks offers a deep dive into the specific roles within hospitality training, providing attendees with foundational tools and knowledge.

But the Winter Conference isn't just about workshops. It also features enlightening general session keynotes, where industry luminaries share their wisdom and vision. And don't miss the energetic  LIVE Ask My Peers sharing session, a unique opportunity for peer-to-peer learning and networking.

In the world of hospitality training, the CHART Summer and Winter Conferences are two sides of the same coin. The Summer Conference ignites inspiration and innovation, while the Winter Conference hones skills and deepens competencies. Both events share the same mission – to elevate the art of hospitality training and to empower trainers to shape the future of the industry.

So, whether you're seeking immediate implementation strategies or aiming to refine your competencies, CHART's conferences have you covered, offering a year-round journey of growth and excellence in the world of hospitality training
