THE-ICE Webinars

THE-ICE Webinar Series is intended to support THE-ICE members with sharing information related to how individual member institutions are delivering programmes under the COVID-19 crisis. All members are encouraged to participate and share strategies, platforms, and techniques they have utilised, including details of approaches that have been particularly successful but also areas, subjects, and modules where they have yet to find a solution.

Not only have hospitality, tourism and events industries been the most impacted, but so has tertiary education. The reality is that there will be ‘New Normals’ for both education and the hospitality & tourism industries – and these will not look like the ‘Old Normal’ of 2019. Looking to the future, how can members of THE-ICE be better prepared for the coming changes?
