The attendees of the one day conference mainly consist of revenue managers as well as CEOs and Founders of start-up companies. The annual conference is one of the well-attended events on revenue management among the revenue management community.<\/p>\n<p>The conference was well organized and very successful. I fully enjoyed the whole conference with so many interesting discussions on several aspects of Revenue Management. The session delivered by Russell Low (Director of Revenue, UK&amp;I, Accor Hotels), Duncan Anderson (CEO, Humanise.AI), Vivek Bhogaraju (Director, Revenue Management Solutions, Expedia Group) and Hampus Ljunggren (Head of Business Development &amp; Partnerships , Travel Appeal) &#8211; particularly on Artificial Intelligence and the use of technology to connect customers were very informative. During the conference, the key takeaway was \u2013 That the new generation of Revenue Managers need to learn how to unlearn in order to revolutionize how to stand out in the saturated market.<\/p>\n<p>I manage to meet several founders of companies dealing with technology and AI for Revenue Management during the networking sessions. It was an enjoyable and knowledgeable experience and I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Dimitrios and Michelle from Revenue by Design for giving me this opportunity to volunteer and attend the conference. I have definitely benefited very much from this fantastic event.<\/p>\n<p>Emily Cheng<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/tourism\/files\/2019\/02\/Picture3-e1550351523112.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4854 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/tourism\/files\/2019\/02\/Picture3-300x277.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"556\" height=\"513\" \/><\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a great pleasure and experience to volunteer with my colleagues for the Opportunity 2019 Conference: Revenue Management and the Connected Customer https:\/\/www.opportunity2019.co.uk\/ in London.
