World Travel Market London has today announced its 2024 Conference Advisory Team. The panel, selected from almost 50 submissions following a ‘Call for Advisors’, is working with the World Travel Market team to develop and curate the show’s market-leading Conference Programme.
The programme features six content streams that have an eye firmly on the future and are reflective of industry opportunities and emerging trends. The panel comprises:
- Uwern Jong, Experientialist®-in-Chief at OutThere, who is supporting with the Diversity, Equity, Accessibility & Inclusion content track
- Mark Frary, Author, Writer and Consultant, who is advising on the Geo-Economics content stream
- Matthew Gardiner, Director, Travel Massive and Senior Vice President FINN Partners, and Tina Charisma, Director and Founder of the Charisma Campaign are working to shape the Marketing content programme
- Tina O’Dwyer, Founder & CEO, The Tourism Space is advising on the Sustainability content track
- Timothy O’Neil-Dunne, President, T2Impact Ltd will help mould the Technology programme
Juliette Losardo, Exhibition Director, World Travel Market, said: “The World Travel Market’s Conference Programme is unrivalled and provides high quality education and inspiration, ensuring attendees walk away with meaningful insights and tangible learnings for the year ahead.
“To ensure WTM continues to inspire, it’s crucial content is kept fresh and suitable for incoming generations, and, of course, that we seek input from diverse viewpoints. The World Travel Market advisory teams have been integral to conference development, and we value their contributions greatly. Our new Advisory Team aligns to our inclusivity commitments, and ensures we offer a stage to emerging talent and an opportunity for lesser-known voices to be heard. The 2024 panel is perfectly placed to support us in delivering the high calibre education programme we’re committed to, and we’re delighted to welcome them as we work to produce what I know will be an exciting and enlightening few days in November.”
Full details of the 2024 Conference Programme will be released in coming weeks.
