Convergence is happening – between the online and offline as business models mature. Convergence of devices is making handhelds the nodal point for music, commerce and content. Additionally, video, images and text are increasingly converging in a range of search environments.
The convergence between travel brands and media brands is relentless – is the rise of supplier direct brands pushing the first generation Online Travel Agents towards media models? Will Google, MSN and Yahoo go the other way, towards commerce? Social networking and web 2.0 continue to make the online landscape both enticing and challenging for travel businesses, and there’s even convergence between the real and the virtual world, though the rise of environments such as Second Life.
  • How will social networking change the way you manage consumer relationships?
  • How are the latest developments in search, such as the convergence of video, images and text content going to affect travel brands?
  • How will new mobile technology change your customers’ behaviour?
  • How will the travel supplier and agent landscape change through the convergence of different commercial models?
  • Why should virtual worlds matter to travel brands?
