On April 6, 2018, Hersha Hospitality Trust curated an immersive field trip for the Germination Project Fellows, which included a tour of the trading floor, lectures by market makers, media personalities and an interactive discussion about the New York Stock Exchange’s history and the disruptive forces, like Blockchain Technology, shaping its future.
Fellows watched the UFC champs ring the opening bell and imagined listing their own companies in the future.
Hersha hosted the exhausted Fellows for lunch at one of their flagship properties in New York: the Hyatt at Union Square. After the 7-course lunch, which included a thoughtful discussion about the importance of culture in corporate arenas, we departed back home to Philly.
