Welcome to the 2025 ICHRIE Global Conference

We're excited to welcome you to the 2025 ICHRIE Global Conference, taking place 18–20 June 2025 at the JW Marriott Indianapolis in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. This year’s conference promises to be a dynamic and collaborative experience for hospitality and tourism educators, researchers, and industry leaders from around the world.

One of the most exciting updates for 2025 is our continued co-location with HITEC® Indianapolis, offering ICHRIE attendees' unique access to selected HITEC® events at no additional cost. This collaboration brings even greater value—especially with 2024 pricing still in effect thanks to our price freeze.

Whether you're joining us to present, network, or explore innovative teaching strategies and industry insights, this year’s program is designed to inform, inspire, and connect.
