Media Invitation to Web In Travel

Web In Travel (WIT) Singapore 2015 occurs 19-21 Oct 2015 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. 

About WIT Singapore 2015:

WIT Singapore is the flagship WIT conference of the year. WIT Conferences now occur in Dubai, Indonesia, Japan and Thailand, as well as Singapore. Over 500 delegates attend the Singapore conference, which is held alongside ITB Asia and under STB's Travel Rave week of events.

The theme this year is Reboot.

Travel needs a reboot. Because everything has changed.

The customer goes mobile. The web has become invisible. The cloud of connections. The Internet of things. The traveller at the centre of it all, holding sway.

Social goes mainstream. Influencers rule. Sharers emerge. Monsters enter. Size matters. Consolidation picks up pace. Lines blur. Models morph. New frontiers open – space is now a flight away.

This year’s WIT will “Reboot” to redefine the characters in travel, explore new story opportunities and challenge thinking on the elements that make travel tick – from customer acquisition to pricing, distribution, marketing, branding and leadership.

The themes we will examine include:

1. BR & AR, Before Reboot & After Reboot – what old ideas need to be discarded, what new ones must be embraced?
2. Monsters, copycats and start-ups – who will win and what does it take to win?
3. Might Over Smart – as the big gets bigger, will there be room for the small and independent, no matter how smart?
4. Rock stars and Stewards – what’s the right match to make magic happen in a team?
5. The Flip Side – meet the characters we seldom see but who are an integral part of our universe.
6. Winning & Keeping Customers – more than one way to land that prize, but which way is best?
7. The Power of Now – who wins in an age where decisions are made instantly and answers needed now.
8. The Next Frontier – where are the new opportunities? Restaurants? In-destination? Local transportation? Space?
9. Personalisation – how do you walk that thin line between being a friend and a nuisance?
10. RIP, Travel – has technology killed the travel star?
