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.
Please note that attendance at and participation in THE-ICE webinars is for representatives of THE-ICE member institutions only. However, recordings of these webinars will be made available here after the event.

Webinar 10: 30 Minute Talks: Surviving COVID – What Can Institutions and Educators offering Hospitality Do Now?
Even with a vaccine, the reality is that COVID-19 is going to be with us for a long time to come. 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?
