Campus and commercial services are vital to university and college life. Our members are responsible for student residential accommodation and residence life programmes; catering, hospitality and retail; sport & physical activity; conferencing & events; print & design; merchandising, soft facilities management and various other services. They may run hotels, arts centres, nurseries and even the university’s digital services. By connecting, supporting and developing these professionals, CUBO helps to create excellent campus experiences for all.

Technology in hospitality is fast evolving. Today’s students expect self-serve kiosks, smart mobile apps and pre order grab and go. What’s more, they are more discerning and want carbon emission, calorie and allergy information at their finger tips. This round table explores current and new technology coming down the line, like age verification by facial recognition, robot waiters and the ability to pay using your face.
