WON's point of view

WON's take

The Forum's emphasis on AI across various operational and customer experience aspects (booking, workforce, distribution, loyalty) presents a direct opportunity for WON to engage with leaders on redesigning customer experience and operations using AI.
The focus on 'Travel's Great Recalibration' and adapting to geopolitical volatility, technological upheaval, and shifting traveler behavior aligns with WON's strategic advisory role in helping brands navigate disruption.
The presence of high-level executives and decision-makers, with over 70% in C-suite or senior leadership, offers an ideal environment for WON to forge strategic partnerships and explore collaborative ventures grounded in verified industry themes.
The discussion on 'owning more of the travel journey' and the tension between direct bookings and AI agents, particularly with companies like Uber leveraging loyalty, provides a ripe area for WON to demonstrate how AI can enhance direct customer relationships and optimize operational efficiency.

Questions to ask

How can travel and hospitality brands effectively integrate AI into their customer experience and operational strategies to not just keep pace but lead in a rapidly recalibrating industry?
Given the forum's focus on 'Travel's Great Recalibration' and adapting to global shifts, what specific challenges are executives facing in translating strategic insights into actionable, AI-driven operational improvements?
