Revenue Management to Revenue Strategy: Best practices and key learnings to help your organization succeed in 2020 and beyond
John Gallagher, Sales Director, Duetto
Real time pricing
As the travel industry has evolved and become more digitized, markets that hotels operate in today have become faster, more transparent and more competitive than ever, pushing down profit margins. The old school of revenue management, where it used to be enough to pull historical reports from an isolated, non-connected PMS, to decide the future room prices, does not longer apply.
Alexander Edström, CEO, Atomize
Why are guests so unpredictable? Is there anything we can do in order to make them more predictable?
In recent years more and more hoteliers have commented on the fact that it is becoming harder to predict what demand will be like. Guests book later and later, events that traditionally had a high impact now have much lower impact and guests seem to change their mind on what they like. During this session we will discuss in what way we might be able to do in order to steer our guests towards a more predictable behavior.
Niels MekenkampDirector of Business Solutions, EMEA, Cendyn

Consequences of Inbound RFP Over-reliance – Why is it the Time to Establish a Proactive Meetings & Events Sales Strategy
MICE segment is becoming commoditized, driven by rate and response time. Cost of acquisition and distribution continues to grow. Need periods are more pronounced. Sales teams have subpar proactive skills – order takers vs. hunters. Sellers are fishing in the same pond with less than 10% conversion rates.
