The Travel Innovation Summit At The PhoCusWright Conference
NEW IDEAS. NEW PRODUCTS. NEW COMPANIES.
Monday, November 17, 2008
(Ticket includes Tuesday's Network Exchange and Workshops)
Renaissance Hollywood Hotel
Hollywood, CA United States
The Travel Innovation Summit is a new PhoCusWright event that showcases the travel industry’s hottest, most innovative Web and mobile-based applications.
Travel, tourism and hospitality is the world’s largest industry, responsible for 8% of global employment, 9% of invested capital and 10% of global GDP. Millions of citizens will leave their borders for the first time this year; international tourism actually grew year-over-year about 5 per cent in the first four months of 2008 (UN World Tourism Organization).
The marketplace is enormously fragmented because of the terrestrial nature of travel itself. Companies and infrastructure are required to be located all over the world, one destination at a time. However, the travel researching, planning, sharing and purchasing process is wholly digital, which is why travel is an e-commerce category killer. Technology-based innovation that improves customer travel planning experiences are therefore enormously important to the overall industry.
TRAVEL + INNOVATION + TECHNOLOGY + FUTURE…INTERSECT HERE
Innovators from around the world demonstrate sites and solutions that significantly impact travel planning, purchasing and trending. The Travel Innovation Summit represents the next big wave of innovation in the travel industry and the ensuing impact on your business. Benefits of demonstrating include marketing and promotion, business development, on-site meetings, audience feedback, a chance to address the Center Stage audience later in the week.
The influential audience of professionals focused on travel judges the innovators real-time, sending six finalists to fill the Five Minutes of Fame slots during Center Stage on Wednesday and Thursday.
Early-stage, emerging and established companies are invited to apply based purely on their innovative accomplishments, regardless of organizational size, age, sector or location. PhoCusWright’s experienced analyst team carefully screens each candidate to find the best and eliminate the hype.
