One-on-one, pre-scheduled meetings. The symposium curates quality engagements between larger travel companies and tech startups through one-on-one appointments. Startups demo, gather feedback and work towards acquiring pilots and licensing deals. (10) 15-minute one-on-one meetings for the larger travel companies to meet with the startups to evaluate the technology.
Relationship building for pilots & licensing. The intent of the private, invite only 1-day symposium is to bring key decision makers in the TSI network in a room with startups that have technology "ready" to pilot/license". We are seeking quality vs. quantity. Larger conferences are great for learning and networking but rarely adequate for long-term relationship building.
Meaningful discussions and feedback. In addition to the one-on-one meetings there will be up to (6) startup presentations and a panel session on best practices to pilot and license technology with corporates. The goal is to facilitate product feedback on new API and micro-service technology and to expedite piloting and licensing deals between parties.
The Symposium is a private event and there will be (10-12) large travel companies and (20-25) travel technology startups attending.

The presentations were also very insightful" said Trideep Aggarwal, TWAI.
