Phocuswright has announced the launch of its Travel Marketing AI Summit, set for March 24 in New York City.
The one-day, executive-level event will host senior leaders across travel, marketing and technology to discuss how AI is reshaping the traveler journey and determine how leaders should respond.
“As AI rapidly changes discovery, decision-making and conversion, travel brands and platforms need clarity, not hype,” said Pete Comeau, Phocuswright’s managing director.
“The Travel Marketing AI Summit is designed as a focused exchange for leaders who are actively shaping customer strategy and investing in transformation.”
Phocuswright said the program is “built for high-level dialogue and actionable insight,” designed for CMOs and senior marketing leaders; digital data and innovation executives; marketing technology and AI leaders; and agencies, advisors, analysts and investors.
The event is separate from The Phocuswright Conference and strays from traditional events, offering a forum for leaders to discuss real-world applications of AI instead of product pitches, Phocuswright said.
The day will involve keynotes, executive interviews and panel discussions, as well as interactive discussions, case studies and thought-leadership sessions.
