I am currently attending the Hospitality Design Expo & Conference in Las Vegas. In previous years there was a "Green Day" event that preceded the conference and expo. There was no Green Day this year because Hospitality Design magazine, the publication behind the conference and expo, lost a couple of key people who were behind the planning of the event. The employees moved on to better positions in other companies. Replacing Green Day this year were four "Green Conversations" organized by NEWH Inc.—the Hospitality Industry Network. I participated in the first Green Conversation as an interviewer of Jeanne Varney, lecturer faculty, School of Hotel Administration, Cornell University. The topic of our conversation was “What Are We Teaching Our Students, and What Can They Teach Us?” There were about 15 to 20 people at the booth where our conversation took place.
