Our Co-founder and Managing Partner, Dr. Joseph C Lau, being the Guest Speaker at SHTM, PolyU

Our Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Dr. Joseph C Lau, was recently invited as the guest speaker for 2 special sessions on "Design for Hospitality" to the master students from the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU).

Dr. Lau, drawing from years of industry expertise, shared invaluable insights from his extensive experience as both a developer and an architect. From land acquisition, followed by the design concept of a hotel, till the commencement of the construction, Dr. Lau’s in-depth sharing covers not only the creative aspects of design, but also delves into the financial analysis and operational considerations that inspire the students to contemplate the practical aspects that shape successful hospitality ventures.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to SHTM from PolyU for hosting us. It is through such collaborative platforms that we can foster the next generation of hospitality leaders.
