The 37th annual IHI National Hospitality Business Management Game & Student Seminar 2022, took place on 06 & 07 March at the Clayton Hotel, Dublin Airport. TU Dublin was represented by three teams, one from the Tallaght campus and two from Grangegorman campus.
Seven teams took part over two weeks where they faced the challenge of opening a hotel after Covid and developing a recruitment and retention strategy to board level. The final task in real time was to present to the judges a sales and marketing strategy, as if to board level.

- Eavanna Ryan, Group Sales and Marketing from the Connacht Hospitality Group
- Russell Hadley, General Manager of The Mayson Hotel
- Patrick McNamara of Broadline Recruiters and
