PhoCusWright Speaking Opportunities

Speaking at a PhoCusWright event is a statement about you and your company. You've made it to the big leagues and your message is important for the industry to hear. If you have what it takes, let us know about it.

At PhoCusWright, we are passionate about creating unique conferences in an industry mired in a "sea of same." For every PhoCusWright event, our analysts and events team work hard to design pioneering programs that produce provocative, needle-moving content devoid of commercials. Speakers are carefully selected to ensure a superior attendee experience.

Keynote Speakers

CEOs from all sectors of the global travel, tourism and hospitality industry – key influencers and heads of major suppliers or distributors – are invited to engage, debate and define the ever-evolving realities of travel commerce. Participation is by invitation only.

Talkbackers

Talkback, a signature component of PhoCusWright events, is when audience members are invited to the stage to ask questions. Immediately following certain keynote remarks, industry peers have a special opportunity to "square off" with a keynote speaker. After listening to a keynote address, Talkbackers take the stage and lead the Q&A (question & answer) segment. A Talkbacker's mission is to ask excellent questions. They should dig beneath the "polite surface" and explore "messier truths" that are below the surface. For consideration as a Talkbacker, individuals must be 1) registered to attend the event – as a delegate, sponsor or exhibitor; 2) a senior executive from a large travel, tourism or hospitality company or CEO of a mid-to-small firm; and 3) willing to be probing, pithy and provocative.

Five Minutes of Fame

The coveted "Five Minutes of Fame" segments are filled with The Travel Innovation Summit category winners. The highest rated Travel Innovation Summit demonstrators will be chosen to make their case in front of the most desirable travel industry audience anywhere – the Center Stage!

Executive Roundtables

A select few roundtables include media and financial analyst coverage as well as targeted geographic and special interest groups. Participation is by invitation only.
