IMHI is celebrating its 40th Anniversary!
The leading European hospitality postgraduate management program has over 40 years of renowned leadership. Originally named Institut de Management Hôtelier International (IMHI), the program was initially created in 1981 as a joint venture between Cornell University’s school of hotel administration and ESSEC Business School, a partnership that lasted for 25 years and since 2006 fully managed by ESSEC.
Today, IMHI is partnered with Boston University School of Hospitality Administration (SHA), where students can receive an additional graduate certificate.

GALA EVENT
At the Gala event at the beautiful Musee des Arts Forains, we will immerse in the fascinating world of ancient funfairs with merry-go-rounds and a variety of attractions for an unforgettable evening. This millstone building was designed at the end of the 19th century by one of Gustave Eiffel’s apprentices! Beyond being together, in a magical place and feasting, a magnificent 40th Anniversary souvenir gift will be given to each participant.
Let’s enjoy an exclusive cocktail dinner with music and games and let’s get transported back to the 1900’s, the golden age of funfairs!
