GET a fix on the future at TRAVELtech, Australia's online travel marketing, distribution and tech event, which is being held in Sydney on August 26.

The 2008 event is shaping up well with strong bookings, an excellent speaker roster and compelling theme: the open-ended Year of Living Dangerously?

It can be taken a couple of ways ... the obvious: oil, inflation, interest rates and marketing costs up - challenges ahead.

Search Engine Room an Australian-owned event that strives to reflect the market in which it operates while embracing international trends.

It’s outward rather than inward looking, taking great care to incorporate consumer and marketing priorities into innovative and provocative programs.

The program focus is on respected, well-connected speakers delivering topical, relevant  information.

Search engine optimisation and marketing is well-covered, while broader industry issues are also addressed through interviews with leading search industry figures.

There are case studies, debates and panels. 

Audience interaction is encouraged and Search Engine Room always makes an effort to be forward-looking,  tracking the latest search and digital trends.

Consumers are also given the once-over, enabling delegates to gain a better understanding of their customers.

Program and Bookings

Program topics included online distribution, consumer trends, channel and yield management, carbon offsetting, star ratings, modern marketing tactics, pricing, social media strategies and plenty more.

No Vacancy will return in 2009 - please sign up for the TravelTrends.biz newsletter if you'd like further details.
