    The rise of AI-powered search and the dramatic fall-off in direct clicks in search has led many to ask whether a new strategy is required that does not focus on SEO and SEM.

  14. Lovelace Theatre
    It’s a scary thought but sometimes the first time a contract is read fully is when there’s a problem. Many people have felt that feeling of unease when they realise they are on the hook for a tech problem. The β€œblack box” nature of AI also means that companies now have to blindly rely on tech without knowing exactly how it works. This session looks at how to avoid the problems and set up a legal framework that works for all parties.

We’ll look at real-world examples of interoperability in action, the partnerships enabling progress, and the practical barriers that remain. From data-sharing to platform strategies, our panel of experts will examine what it takes to deliver joined-up journeys across multiple providers. Expect an honest discussion on what’s working, what’s not, and how travel organisations can play a more active role in building a truly connected experience.

    Every search, every booking, every confirmation in enterprise travel rests on one thing: the quality of the data underneath it. Yet most travel businesses are scaling on a foundation they can't see. Fragmented supplier feeds, mismatched property records, and room descriptions that mean three different things across three different systems. The result is lost revenue, frustrated guests, and teams burning hours fixing data instead of growing the business.
