This is quick shout out for ideas, speakers, sponsors and feedback for TRAVELtech, which was founded way back in 1999.
That would be the decade before last. A long time ago. Prehistoric in tech and travel terms, so time to change things up.
The big news is that TRAVELtech 2013 will be staged over two days - September 12 & 13 - instead of the traditional one.
The first day - the new day - will be all about travel technology with the content aimed at those working in the industry's growing IT sector.
Day two will address online travel, e-commerce, distribution, digital marketing, mobile, social media, web trends and other key issues.
In other words, day two is the "traditional" TRAVELtech program which has worked so well over the past few years.
The idea is to reboot TRAVELtech and broaden its appeal without losing program focus,which we'll be able to do by having two distinct days.
This modular approach will also be reflected in tickets and pricing.
Delegates can buy individual day tickets or a two day pass at a reduced rate, depending on what they interested in, and details on that will be available in early June.
Meanwhile, we are seeking speakers, sponsors, supporters and program ideas - or variations on all of those themes.
So please get in contact, let me know your thoughts, no matter how random they may be.
You can call on (02) 9882-1575 or shoot through an email: martin.kelly@traveltrends.biz
Thanks for your time and hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Martin Kelly
