LONDON, June 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Following its hugely successful
launch in 2023, the CDO Travel & Hospitality Exchange returns
for its second year on 11-12 September
2024 at Hilton Syon Park in London. Bringing together senior data leaders
from across the world of travel and hospitality for two days of
learning, discussion and networking, attendees will gain unique
insights on harnessing data for operational excellence, building
world-class data teams and enhancing customer experience through
effective use of data.
The multitude of systems and suppliers integral to the
functioning of the travel and hospitality industry creates a
distinct set of challenges in terms of data organisation and
governance, with many data leaders feeling as though they are not
maximising their organisation's data potential. Coupled with the
introduction of new legislation and the pressure to keep up with
continually evolving customer expectations, a data leader's role
within travel and hospitality organisations has become increasingly
demanding.
The CDO Travel & Hospitality Exchange agenda has been
designed to address the complexities of implementing effective data
strategies, helping travel and hospitality businesses to thrive in
today's data-driven world. With 70 select data leaders from the
travel and hospitality industry in attendance and a variety of
unique activity formats including industry-specific roundtables,
plenary presentations and one-to-one meetings with solution
providers, the Exchange format provides a tailored, unique platform
to explore fresh solutions to real-world challenges that data
leaders in this sector face.
The world-class speaker faculty is comprised of thought leaders
from some of the travel and hospitality industry's most
recognisable brands, including Hirra Sulanki, Group Head of Digital
Analytics & Optimisation at TUI, Gillian Cossey, Global Data Protection Officer
at Virgin Atlantic, and Nick
Beresford, Head of Data & Analytics at Heathrow Airport.
Attendees will come away with the expert knowledge and actionable
insights needed to create data-driven change within their
organisations.
Other agenda highlights include a presentation on 'The Ongoing
Battle Between Modernisation and Legacy Systems' by Philip Cotton, Head of Customer, Trending &
Trading Insight at On the Beach. The event's closing panel
discussion on 'Navigating the Path to Data Maturity', notably
featuring Andrea Ferrari, Director
of Planning & Forecasting at Silversea Cruises, also promises
to be an enriching discussion that will enable attendees to
visualise the optimal data architecture, team structure and
strategies needed for their organisation to excel.
Attendance at the CDO Travel & Hospitality Exchange is by
