We've created the Young Leader Summit
to recognize the brilliant young minds that are shaping
the future of the travel industry.
We want them to meet other rising stars in the industry
and create a community that fosters growth,
innovation, and collaboration.
- It was an unbelievable experience, my first year
of Phocuswright been hearing some amazing things
and it really lived up to the hype.
The Young Leaders was curated amazing.
I really loved the people that I met
and all the different people that came
and spoke with us and it was an amazing experience.
- Awesome, yeah, I couldn't have asked for anything better.
I had a couple colleagues do it in previous years
and they've made connections that have helped the company,
that have helped them personally.
Just met really bright people that are very ambitious
and very hungry, and they want to change the industry.
They're excited, so it just feels
good to be a part of this group.
- It's been fantastic, first to connect with other
young leaders like me in various, different companies
in the travel industry, and also to meet some
really experienced and senior people across the program.
I think it's been really fantastic for me so far,
and I'm really happy about it.
- Very inspiring, lots of great connections
all over the world.
A really good national presence here,
so that's been exciting for me.
- It's been brilliant actually because it's given us
an opportunity to interact with 35 really diverse people
from different parts of the travel industry,
make some great connections, make some great friendships,
had a lot of beer and dinner with them,
but I think eventually, it's also gonna translate into
professional, actually opportunities later on.
I think there is great value in sort of this entire
Young Leader program and we also plan on
to have our own Whatsapp group where we can
communicate going forward, so yeah, I think,
thanks to Phocuswright for putting all of this together.
- I think one important part of it
was actually to start the day before.
We really had the time to connect together.
We had some great ice breaking exercises,
some talks and it was important to meet some people,
which was already useful for me during the conference
because you can meet them, they share their networks
with you, so it's actually very, putting yourself
in a very confident position during the event.
- The sessions are really short network oriented
as well, so for example, the Monday sessions,
a lot of interaction.
We have some great speakers on Monday.
Most of the time, the people like to Tuesday sessions
best, which is a lunch, which is table discussion,
so we had six different speakers.
They just introduced themself briefly to the whole group,
but then they sit down and have table discussions.
I was in a lucky position to be on one of those tables
and it was really great of seeing them interact
and seeing maybe I could talk to the guys
that are already established in industry
and I really enjoyed that.
- Probably the lunch was my favorite,
just an intimate lunch, different people sitting
at the table; executives from Google, VCs, Lola.
It was really a great experience.
- I was an original member, I guess,
the first Young Leaders in 2010,
and then I've been helping out by
facilitating the program ever since.
- Joel Cutler, I think, gave some great advice about just
we might not be in this job in five years,
and it's really important to just do what you love
and to just keep asking questions
and keep going after what you think is interesting.
I think our generation is not unsettled,
but you know, just wants more, and won't be comfortable,
at least this group of people won't be comfortable
staying in the same position, so it's all about reaching out
to each other, getting to know each other, seeing what's
out there, and just staying on top of the trends.
- Philip Wolf, this morning, really talked to us,
kind of inspirational about his journey with Phocuswright.
That was particularly interesting for me, just understanding
that you're gonna have some ups and downs.
It's gonna be a long road, but really kinda stay the course
and look for the next big thing.
- I think that's one of the coolest things
because by coming, you can maybe meet
the CEO of Trip Advisor or Priceline Group,
and you know, when we ask those CEOs
would you please spend some time with the Young Leaders,
it's almost always yes.
- Yeah, of course it's part of
what makes it really interesting.
Everybody's talking about the pitches and to see these guys
up there during the various sections of the event
is actually quite nice to be so close to the innovation
and to meet both these people that are actually
changing the market and bringing innovation
and also to meet more experienced companies
that are actually paying attention to what's happening,
so I think it's a unique opportunity that
right now exists in the travel industry.
- I think the innovators and kind of
some of that contest work that was going on
was particularly interesting to me.
Definitely lots of different sectors,
lots of great ideas, young people kinda coming up there
and being really bold about what they want to do
with the industry.
- I think Phocuswright is probably the most
amazing sort of visibility spot for you as start up.
I think you really work closely with the
Phocuswright staff and essentially pitch what
you're talking about, and they can give you
unprecedented visibility right, so I think that's
something that I would sort of expouse always.
If I participate as much as possible in the summits
and this, that, you know, and the main conference,
I'm sure they can give you sort of startup discounts
and those kind of things because I'm sure
budgets are a problem, but, you know, I think
it's clearly a validation of your idea, right?
You have people from the industry.
They can tell you it's a make or break decision
and you can go back with insights to either grow your
business or sort of, you know, reconfigure it.
I think it's very, very valuable for me
and it's for pretty much any startup out there.
- If you go on our websites, either Phocuswright Europe
or Phocuswrightconference.com to find there a link
that's for the Young Leaders Summit and there you can apply.
It's a few brief questions about age.
I think the questions are like what's your
biggest achievement and so on, so they give us
some information that we can see that we get together
a good group of people that makes up different industries
and what we consider is young leaders,
the future of the industry.
