Katy Howell, CEO – Immediate Future
Knowing just how social media impacts your customer journey is crucial in delivering ROI. So how do consumers use social during the purchase?
Katy will be sharing exclusive insights from social conversations about travel to helping us understand

– How social behaviours deliver the key to ROI

Andrea Eckerstofer, Regional Director – Booking.com
Focusing on the customer experience is key to converting lookers to bookers. Mobile is soon to become the platform of choice for most hotel bookers – Booking.com has invested its innovation efforts into making the instant mobile bookings an uniquely quick and highly client friendly experience. Excellent content, competitive rates and a very simple booking process are the key success drivers in satisfying the significantly growing segment of last minute mobile bookers.
