World Travel Market London is focussing this year’s Technology Track sessions around how sellers and suppliers of travel can address the ongoing headaches travellers face when they search, shop, book and pay for their trip.

Technology sessions are timetabled across the three days of this year’s event, with the Technology Summit taking place from 10am-1:15pm on the opening day of this year’s event, which starts on Tuesday November 5, on the Purple Stage.

The programme forming this part of the Technology Track has been organised by WTM’s recently appointed technology advisor Timothy O’Neil-Dunne, currently principal at T2Impact, an analysis and consulting firm that specializes in aviation, travel, and leisure.

The session includes a fireside chat with Alfonso Paredes, president of Expedia Group’s Private Label Solutions business. 

He is responsible for the B2B side of the business which gives companies the ability to sell travel via access to Expedia Group’s technology and supply.

Paredes will lead a session centred on the importance of the customer’s digital experience and offer his view on user challenges and the future intersection between AI and loyalty schemes.

There will also be quick-fire sessions looking at the specific customer experience dynamics in play by region, and also by vertical and the sessions conclude with a panel discussion which promises a no-holds-barred debate around how effectively, or not, the industry engages with the traveller.

The Tech Track also features a start-up competition, scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.

O’Neil-Dunne said: “I’m delighted that WTM London has given me the opportunity to try something different, and we’ve decided to tackle head-on one of my industry bug-bears: despite all this tech, why do sellers and suppliers make it so difficult for the traveller to find what they want, to buy our products and to experience what we offer.

“I will be addressing the ‘apocalyptic inefficiency’, as I see it, across the industry and explore the tech we need to tackle this. I’m assembling panellists and speakers from established and emerging travel companies, not all of whom will agree with me, or each other. It’s shaping up to be interesting, interactive and informative.”

This year’s WTM London takes place from November 5-7 at ExCeL London.
