The Phocuswright Conference is the travel industry's flagship annual gathering, bringing together senior leaders from across travel, tourism, hospitality, and travel technology. Hosted each year by Phocuswright, the sector's leading research and events brand, the conference is designed as a high-energy forum where the business of travel is debated, challenged, and re-imagined through the lens of technology, consumer behavior, and distribution.

The event attracts a global mix of decision makers, including executives from airlines, hotels, OTAs, mobility and experiences providers, destination organisations, technology platforms, and venture capital firms, alongside founders from the startup ecosystem. The agenda combines keynote interviews, analyst briefings, interactive panels, and candid on-stage conversations that focus on the forces shaping travel in the coming years, from platform shifts and AI to sustainability, loyalty, pricing, and the evolving traveler journey.

A defining feature of the Phocuswright Conference is its emphasis on meaningful connection and deal-making. Beyond the main stage, the programme includes roundtables, workshops, and innovation showcases that help participants meet partners, clients, and investors, and translate ideas into action. For many companies, it is a key annual moment to launch new products, test strategic thinking with peers, and take the pulse of where travel is heading next.

In short, the Phocuswright Conference is where the travel industry's most influential conversations happen. It blends research-driven insight with real-world commercial perspective, creating a clear view of both near-term opportunities and long-term transformation in global travel.
