Phocuswright travel conference tackles pace of change

Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs, Hostelworld's Feargal Mooney and TripAdvisor's Stephen Kaufer, all feature on the roster of the speakers lined up for this year's Phocuswright Europe conference in Dublin in May.

This year’s conference will take place at the Convention Centre, Dublin, between May 10th and 12th and will tackle pace of change in the travel industry, which is largely driven by new technology and customer expectations.

Mr Jacobs, Ryanair’s chief marketing officer, and Mr Mooney, Hostelworld’s chief executive and co-founder, will both address the conference on its opening afternoon.

Mr Kaufer, TripAdvisor's chief executive and Lastminute. com's chairman, Fabio Cannavale, will also be addressing the gathering, which takes Europe 2016: unsettled yet undeterred as its theme.

Phocuswright is a US-based independent travel research provider. It focuses particularly on the relationships between customers, businesses and agents.
