       BS in Hospitality Management: Conventions and Special Events Concentration

The area of conventions, meetings and special events continues to grow across the hospitality industry. Conventions centers, convention hotels, private clubs and many other businesses employ conference service managers, special event coordinator and convention sales professionals to enhance this segment of their business.

In the special events area in particular, the opportunity exists for young professionals to pursue entrepreneurial goals. In addition to the leading convention centers in most major cities, companies like Gaylord provide great career opportunities in this area.
