Leading industry experts from Expedia, Google, Marriott International, United Airlines, IHG, Orbitz Worldwide, and Continental Airlines are set to address North America’s online travel industry and discuss key growth strategies for the upturn.

Now in it’s 11th successful year, EyeforTravel’s Travel Distribution Summit North America http://events.eyefortravel.com/tdsusa/conference/index.asp will bring together the most successful travel brands from North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean to Chicago, October 13-14. The event will gather over 750 senior travel professionals and 70+ expert speakers for 2 days of insightful presentations, vigorous debate, and powerful networking opportunities to arm online travel professionals with essential strategic tools and insider’s knowledge for a prosperous 2010.

A Transformed Online Landscape

With the travel industry still reeling and in strategic disarray after the chaos of last year, the summit will seek to bring together the foremost brands from across the hospitality, airline, OTA, metasearch, and GDS sectors to review the current industry state of play and reveal how they plan to capitalize on improving market conditions. Top on the agenda will be how to harness emergent trends and technologies, understand changing consumer behaviors, and capitalize on the mobile and social media phenomena.

“We know that maintaining a ‘business as usual’ approach to markets and consumers that have transformed almost beyond recognition is not an option,” reports Event Director Marco Saio. “What we’re seeing now is that those companies who proactively anticipate and react to disruptive change will undoubtedly be the same companies that will emerge in the strongest position competitively and financially as momentum builds for economic recovery.”
