"At EHL, we design human experiences. Every interaction, every learning moment, is intentionally crafted through dialogue between students, faculty, and industry. As AI rapidly automates more of hospitality, human connection becomes the true differentiator. Dialogue is how we design meaningful experiences that technology can support and enhance but never replace." -- Prof Markus Venzin on Design in Dialogue: Connect + Transform
