London, England

T2RLEngage 2023 focussed on how the industry as a whole plans the transition, whilst putting customer/traveller needs at the heart of the journey. The conference brought together delegates from across the industry – airlines, technology suppliers and travel sellers – to share market intelligence, innovation and best practice on this first stage in the digital journey to Offer/Order. To do justice to the magnitude of the challenges, the conference was divided into two content streams, so that delegates and sponsors could participate in the stream most useful and relevant to the pressing challenges they faced.
