Epilogue and PhoCusWright Travel Innovation Summit Winner Announcement |
Center Stage@The PhoCusWright Conference attracts the most qualified audience of travel leaders, decision-makers and C-level executives, under one roof. Like no other event in the travel industry, Center Stage offers a highly interactive environment that facilitates networking and relationship building. This year’s theme, "Chaos Calls, Navigating the New," enumerates the diverse and somewhat daunting challenges facing the travel industry, and provides a roadmap for travel companies to navigate their way to success.
PhoCusWright analysts run Center Stage like a live research project. They know the people and understand the issues like no one else. Our travel industry expertise and interviewing skills are leveraged to uncover truths, probe for clarity and reject sales pitches. We respect your time with superior production value, professional event operations, excellent meals, and above all, networking opportunities with unique access to travel, tourism and hospitality industry leaders. The audience is encouraged to question the speakers—challenging them and providing their own insights.
