"A deep dive into the Hospitality Technology ecosystem" - immersive course designed for hotel operators, owners, vendors, investors, IT professionals, students and lecturers.

I teach hospitality technology at SDSU, and after realizing that there’s not a single online learning course on this topic out there, I decided to launch this new course at a very affordable price, to help others learn what my students already know. This knowledge is necessary for every single hospitality professional to be effective and successful in the field, especially considering that so much is changing in our industry and we now live and operate in a completely new environment, which I refer to as Hospitality 2.0. Ira Vouk
