Connection Corners are casual conversations that happen right on the exhibit floor during the Minnesota Hospitality Conference & Expo on October 3 at Saint Paul RiverCentre. Each corner has a theme - Marketing, Operations or Workforce - with six topics of discussion in each corner. Bring your management team because you can't get to all 18 offerings by yourself!
