Retailing is the industry watchword of 2018. Airlines, hotels, and other travel brands are finally taking steps toward creating one-to-one relationships with their customers. But first they have to contend with the distribution giants and online travel agencies as they unveil a dizzying array of new tools and platforms.

At the same time, many venture capital firms are betting that large companies will be squeezed by innovative offerings from startups.

Our single-track event format will give you a deep, holistic view on travel retail and distribution from a tech perspective. By the end of our event, you will be able to hedge smarter bets on the future of the industry. Along with efficient networking, you’ll enjoy the world’s most differentiated tech conference in travel. We promise brainfood, not just a place to do a bit of business.
