EyeforTravel’s Startup & Innovation in
Travel Awards taking place at the EyeforTravel San Francisco Summit (April
24-25) now has several start-ups signed up including Wyndow, Pablow, Splitty,
Triposo and 8 more.
Applications are currently still open and
being reviewed. The deadline for applications is March 31st. The
start-ups will pitch their businesses in front of a panel of experienced
investors on conference day 1, who will be judging their financial potential.
The two best pitches will be chosen to present in front of the 300+ summit
attendees, with the winner chosen through a live audience poll with the summit
attendees.
“Start-ups
represents a fundamental shift in innovation in travel. At EyeforTravel we believe that the brands
investing and innovating in mobile and new offerings deserve to be recognised”,
says Tim Gunstone, MD, EyeforTravel Ltd.
As Charles Ralston from TripStreak said on
the previous EyeforTravel Awards “The Start-up Village is a really great value
for money, especially for start-ups that can’t typically afford to spend
thousands on conference. Bravo to EyeforTravel for pioneering this!”
Travel is being changed by mobile, the
sharing economy social media and that constant drive to deliver the best
customer experience. Technology is
transforming the way travel is sold – providing exciting opportunities to
enhance the customer experience, grow loyalty and ancillary revenues.
EyeforTravel’s Start-Up Awards seek to recognize the young
brands who are making significant progress for travel – trailblazing the way
for others to follow. Here’s your chance
to shout about it!
