ABOUT
2024 THEME
The “Sliding Doors” moment is upon us in travel. Either we get on or get off.
Generational shifts in demographics in Asia Pacific are happening. There’s a generational leap in tech, with Gen AI blazing the trail, whose powers we have yet to fully comprehend. There’s all sorts of machinations, fragmentation and consolidation happening in distribution, marketing and tech throughout the value chain. And there’s places beyond Earth we have yet to discover.
The Next Generation is about grasping all of that, as well as honouring this moment in travel’s history, this split in dimension, when we have to move forward, guided by but unfettered by the past, to create an industry for The Next Generation of travellers, talent and leaders.
It’s about a mindset. Are you ready to change yours?
DAY 1: MARCH 12, WEDNESDAY
Next Generation Leaders Roundtable (By Invite Only)
An intimate, sharing session for under-35 rising stars of travel to meet and learn from current generation travel leaders. How will the next generation of travel evolve? What changed mindsets and new skills will it require? What will it demand from professionals who have chosen to make travel their life’s calling? Learn valuable lessons and pick up useful insights so you can take your career in travel to new heights.
This by-invite session will include panel discussions with global and local travel leaders on how they have navigated their careers and the opportunities they see in the industry for young talent.
It will also include coaching circles where attendees can learn at a more personal level from our coaches, as well as reverse mentoring where travel leaders can learn from the next generation attendees.
