 September
12, 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.
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.

your forecasting techniques.

your RM performance.
