Integration is King: See how successful travel companies have integrated their strategies, systems and campaigns to cut costs and boost profits

To succeed, companies need to understand how all these business functions are linked and how different departments can work together to produce the best results. Integrating CRM and revenue management, integrating distribution and marketing, integrating pricing and sales, aligning search and user-generated content, integrating customer data into operations...the list goes on...

Which is why, this year, EyeforTravel have specifically co-located three senior-level conferences to allow delegates to meet travel executives from different background and gain a greater understanding of their function within the organization. Creating this three-track event gives attendees a unique opportunity to learn and network with a greater variety, and number, of their industry peers.

The hard-hitting agendas reflect the importance of integrating your strategies and systems across your organization and over twenty in-depth sessions will examine crucial issues in distribution, marketing, ecommerce, revenue management and CRM.

Helen Raff, Event Organizer said 'No other conference out their gives you such a wide variety of sessions to choose from and an opportunity to network with such a variety of peers. And since one Summit pass gives unlimited access to all three conferences, attendees can tailor their conference experience to their own specific needs'
