#TRAVELTECH ...in motion - Quick Visions
We have started to see the first tangible initiatives that demonstrate how the latest technologies are disrupting the way we manage travel. In this stream, we will explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) -way beyond conversational interfaces- leverages machine learning or predictive technology to ‘RE’-empower buyers and travel managers, how Robotics Process Automation (RPA) is ‘RE’-defining the efficiency of a travel programme and contributes to make it traveller-centric, how blockchain technology is on the edge of ‘RE’-volutionizing some basics. Visionary case studies will inspire you.

#CHANGE MINDSET
How do we deal with change? Some resist, some adapt, others embrace it! In times of disruptive change, we need professionals with an agile mindset. We need people who dare to leave their comfortzone and suspend their judgement. We need people who explore the world from a different perspective and can turn problems into opportunities. We need people who get into action and who aren’t scared to fail fast, often and forward by experimenting with BaNano actions. Discover how the Change Mindset can be a survivalkit for professionals in change. In this interactive and entertaining presentation you will get the spark, tools and language to influence others to be more creative & entrepreneurial and give a big boost to your own Change Mindset.
