Design The Future:

A HALF-DAY ONLINE EVENT TO INSPIRE NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR THE FUTURE OF TRAVEL

2020 has been a seminal year in travel, but not for reasons any would have anticipated.

The dual forces of a global pandemic and rising social justice movement have accelerated change like never before. On one side, an industry decimated by economic and public health challenges. On the other, an evolution of a more conscious consumer demanding transparency, trust, and accountability from brands and institutions.

What it means to work, live, and travel in 2020 and beyond is evolving in real time, right before our eyes. Business leaders across the industry know that now is the time to look beyond outdated methods, rethink their brand purpose, and create a new vision for the future.
