TTI`s Spring conference is to lift the lid on dynamic packaging. The event, scheduled for Tuesday 12 April in central London, will explore dynamic packaging from a wide number of angles.
The conference will aim to settle the argument between the traditionalists who say dynamic packaging is no more than tailor-made tour operating and the new entrants who are firm in their belief that dynamic packaging is new, exciting and giving them a real edge.
The conference will pay particular attention to how agents are embracing dynamic packaging as they seek to make a living in the new world of zero commission flights, aiming to answer the question of whether they can successfully bypass tour operators, cutting them out of the travel sales chain.
The event will feature two panel sessions. One session will put the new dynamic packagers head to head: Steve Endacott of Holiday Brokers, Paul Evans of lowcostbeds.com and Vic Darvey of lastminute`s holidayandmore.com, to find out which company really offers agents the best products and technology. The other session will see tour operator technology suppliers, old and new, arguing that their particular technical approach is best.
Martin Wellings, ABTA President, will deliver the key note speech.
