The convergence of social media and the mobile lifestyle is game-changing and mad fast. 71% of US business travelers now carry a Smartphone and an equal number rely on their social network to plan travel. For today’s wired, connected and engaged consumer, it’s all about maximizing the experience. Social Media + Mobile = What they want (and How, Where and When they want it!). Jan Altemeier leads the team delivering the travel industry’s most powerful innovations focused on this new era of social community. Her insights are foundational to Sabre’s investment across a broad portfolio. People need people. But do they need you? Attend this dynamic session to learn why we believe the answer is, ‘Yes!’

This session offers you an opportunity to talk to the solution leaders about concerns and issues that you have on your mind. This constructive forum will ensure that issues are collected and owners assigned to their resolution.

Listen to the outcome of the voice of the customer session as we review the feedback and assign owners.

One of the biggest problems facing the IT industry as a whole is the amount of time effort that is spent on non-differentiating aspects of our respective businesses. Understanding and addressing this point is one of the most important things we can do.
