This Thursday March 20th, another co-hosted Travel 2.0 Boston event will be run by Gillian Morris of Hitlist. She’s put together an amazing travel tech talk featuring Adam Medros, TripAdvisor’s VP of Product, and Giorgos Zacharia, CTO and CPO at KAYAK. They’ll be discussing what’s next in this industry and how you may be able to get involved. Please note that we closed RSVP’s on the Meetup.com Travel 2.0 group page because we’re using Eventbrite for this event.

I am helping to produce the 2nd annual New York Travel Festival on April 26, 2014 at Bohemian National Hall. My groups Travel 2.0 (Co-Organizer) and Travel+SocialGood (Committee Member) are both holding events in conjunction with the festival, and each will offer travel entrepreneurs and companies some fantastic visibility opportunities. Call For Presentations and Participants At “Travel 2.0 @ NYTF” We still have spots open for innovative travel startups and companies to collect helpful feedback and showcase what they are working on to the tech-savvy, immersive audience of the New York Travel Festival. Participants will have two opportunities: 1) Give a presentation to the audience to demonstrate your product 2) Set up at a table with latptops, tablets etc to interact 1-on-1 and go into more detail on your product with attendees All participants will also receive promotion via nytravfest.com and the festival’s social media channels. We expect dozens of people in the room at any one time, especially for the presentations. This will be similar to the typical Travel 2.0 event format in that it is a forum for young travel companies to get feedback and exposure, but on a larger scale. Details on the audience: In addition to the Travel 2.0 audience, the NY Travel Festival attracts hundreds of consumers, media and industry. Consumer attendees are generally younger (25-40), a third have incomes over $100,000 a year, and a great portion of them take at least one international leisure trip a year. Media attendees range from niche bloggers to editors of major publications. Industry attendees include primarily tourism boards, PR agencies and suppliers.

This Tuesday Feb 25th I’ll be hosting the first Travel 2.0 of 2014! I’m thrilled that we’ll have Ryan Frankel of VerbalizeIt giving a presentation at The Hatchery in Times Square. In November, VerbalizeIt was named the winner of this year’s “Most Innovative Startup Company” at PhoCusWright’s Travel Innovation Summit. I was honored to be named alongside Ryan as one of PhoCusWright’s “Young Leaders Under 35”. This event is sponsored by TripCase and Uber. TripCase is a fantastic mobile app to help you organize your travels, and Uber is a private car service that is providing our group free rides to and from the Travel 2.0 venue!
