July 8, 2003 - EyeforTravel announced today the program and speakers
for its 2003 Travel Distribution Summit. Taking place on September 18-19
in Chicago, the travel industry�s most established distribution and technology
event is going into its fifth successful year. Over 400 delegates are expected
to attend what will be EyeforTravel�s biggest US event to date. To see
the full agenda, go to the event website at www.eyefortravel.com/usa2003/hup.
This major conference and exhibition, widely thought of as the travel industry�s most effective meet and do business forum, will this year have a particular focus on hospitality distribution. Two keynote debates, one focussing on the hotels themselves, and the second on the major online distributors, will tackle the exciting but sometimes controversial issues surrounding the distribution of hotel rooms on the Web. Industry leaders including Mike Kistner, CIO, Best Western; Jim Young, VP Distribution, Intercontinental; Paula Drum, VP Strategy, Cendant Hotels; Scott Hyden, General Manager, Travelweb and Eric Christensen, President, WorldRes, will discuss topics such as inventory control, channel management, yield management, search engine optimization and revenue maximization. �Hospitality providers are facing a major dilemma about how to distribute
their product online�, said Simon Carkeek, Partner and Event Director at
EyeforTravel.
The event also features two further keynote debates focussing on the future of the airlines and the evolution of leisure travel distribution, as well as spotlight breakout sessions covering issues such as marketing and advertising, CRM, web services technology and revenue management strategies. If you are interested in attending, make sure you don�t miss out on the substantial earlybird discounts EyeforTravel is offering.
