Philadelphia Hospitality Symposium

There are so many diverse ways that people greet one another around the world, and our understanding of social space plays a crucial role in cultural communication. Our cultural norms vary widely when we think about how we say "hello"—not just from country to country but also within regions, generations, and social groups. This session on Cultural Diplomacy will introduce you to guidelines that can support you in navigating cultural interactions while also reminding you to remain observant, adaptable, and respectful in any situation you encounter.
