TTI lines up leaders for industry conference

A view on where the travel industry is heading in the next few years will emerge from industry leaders at a conference in London.

The Travel Technology Initiative event will include ten speakers, including Advantage Travel Centres chief executive John McEwan, priceline.comÃ¢â¬â¢s Glenn Fogel, On Holiday Group chief executive Steve Endacott and Vertical Group CEO Peter Healey.

They will be examining the travel trade revolution, the future outlook for suppliers, how to capitalise on the online opportunity and the continued development of consumer access technology.

TTI general manager Mick Mott said: Ã¢â¬ÅâœThere are uncertain times ahead and more so, now, than in other time recently, travel companies need guidance on how the industry is going to move forward in the face of an impending recession.

Ã¢â¬ÅâœWe have gathered together some key industry figures who, hopefully, will have the answers on how to continue to thrive.Ã¢â¬~

The conference takes place on September 23 and is free to TTI members and Ã&#pound;125 to members of associated travel organisations.
