The Hospitality Entrepreneurship Experience

What if your hospitality career didn’t end with managing the business, but started with building one? On November 6, step into a different side of hospitality at The Hospitality Entrepreneurship Experience and get a glimpse of what it takes to go from idea to your own venture. Connect with Miami hospitality founders, hear the lessons behind their journeys, meet students who are thinking beyond the traditional career path, and get your first look at The Panther Pitch, FIU Hospitality’s new business pitch competition with a $15,000 prize fund launching in Spring 2027. You don’t need a business plan. Just curiosity about what’s possible. Get your ticket today. Discover the experience. Then ask yourself: What would I build? *This event is open to students of all majors, alumni, and the external community.
