It will be held from May 10-12 in Dublin and is one of three conferences the research company holds around the world, with the other two taking place in the US and Asia.

Phocuswright Europe will consist of panel conversations and one on one interviews, with speakers including Citizen M Hotels chief executive Michael Levie and TripAdvisor president and chief executive Steve Kaufer.

The event is also taking place with TTG Media as one of its media partners. Managing director Daniel Pearce said: “Technology is at the heart of the travel industry, so to support a conference dedicated to the topic is a must from our point of view.”

Phocuswright managing director Tony D’Astolfo added: “Phocuswright are delighted to be partnering with TTG Media.

“With a pedigree that stretches back over 60 years in travel trade publishing it is an honour for us to be working with such an esteemed company.

“Over the last three years Phocuswright has established a greater reach here in Europe with the launch of our European conference, which was held in Dublin, and now moves to Amsterdam for 2017.”
