Airline Showcase: London

Sponsored By Lufthansa Group, Etihad Airways, All Nippon Airways (ANA), Finnair, CWT Solutions Group


Airline Showcase: London

The landscape of airline distribution is changing rapidly and keeping up to date can be a challenge.  Airlines have very different approaches to distribution and NDC and as suppliers adapt to these new market dynamics, keeping up to date can be a challenge.  

This full day event provides the perfect platform to discover what’s new in the industry and be aware of developments that could benefit your programme.  See four airlines present individually, with the added benefit of being able to discuss their presentations and review comments as a group. 

Learn about the new developments and offerings from:
- Etihad 
- Lufthansa
- ANA
- Finnair

We will also be joined by two speakers: 
Louise Kilgannon, FESTIVE ROAD/IATA Advisory Board - NDC: Fact or Fiction?
CWT Solutions Group who will be sharing details about how to approach negotiations and how to get RFP ready! 

Delegates have the unique opportunity to put forward questions in advance to the suppliers, helping to shape their presentations. Get straight to the details that matter to you!

Why attend? 
Please see below delegate quotes outlining the value of attending: 

“The ITM Showcase was a valuable exercise to be part of. We constantly seek to improve the services we provide for our staff, and the day provided a welcome forum for frank and open discussion regarding the companies that presented to us. It also was a good opportunity to benchmark the services we currently use.” Chris Button, Travel & Facilities Manager, IGT 

"I would thoroughly recommend an ITM Showcase to anyone looking to wanting to see what is happening in the market or looking to make a change within their programme. I will certainly be keeping an eye out for future ITM showcase." Procurement Manager, Global Financial Services Company
