August
1, 2006 - These are truly exciting times for Revenue Management in the
US travel industry. The speed of change, innovation and growth is eye-watering!
If you are not pushing hard to be at the forefront of these changes, you
are being left behind. The seniority and number of travel pricing executives
who are already booked to attend North America�s premier RM forum indicates
that this is where the industry leaders come to keep abreast of these changes.
EyeforTravel�s Revenue Management and Pricing in Travel 2006 event is
being held October 4-5 at the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza in Chicago.
This event will address the issues that are critical to every RM professional.
Topics to be covered include understanding dynamic pricing, analyzing the
price sensitivity of your customers, improving your performance measurement
and getting the most out of your forecasting techniques. Some of the agenda
highlights include:
-
Delta Airlines will speak about the challenges that they have faced
with a tripling in jet-fuel prices and how they have managed to combat
this with intelligent RM strategy.
-
Ritz Carlton will case-study CRM from a Revenue Management perspective
and evaluate how best to integrate RM to form a coherent CRM strategy.
-
Hotwire.com and Priceline.com will present on the impact
of opaque channels and then be joined by Resort Quest Hawaii and Delta
Airlines on a panel debate.

out of your forecasting techniques.
