US: Integrated software and marketing solutions provider TravelNet Solutions [TNS] has announced the launch of a new conference: TNS NEXT.
The event will feature a series of events to help hospitality technology providers grow, network and improve revenues.
TNS now has been a major property management software provider for the past 20 years. Its flagship products include TRACK Property Management System, Call Centre, and a suite of digital marketing technology.
TNS CEO Ryan Bailey said: “NEXT was born out of the idea that our industry and our client’s businesses are pushing towards the next evolution of their growth. They’re experiencing new challenges and opportunities and NEXT is built around the convergence of solutions and how to capitalise on the next chapter.”
Speakers will include industry professionals such as Matt Landau, Doug Kennedy and Dawn Yeskulsky. The conference will also include hospitality owners themselves speaking on how new technologies are affecting them.
The event plans to have 30 sponsors and around 400 attendees. A cocktail hour will precede a networking session that features carving stations and other food options.
Bailey will be part of the day two keynote, alongside Kindra Hall, president and chief storytelling officer at Steller Collective and author of the bestselling business book, Stories that Stick.
The conference will take place from 20-22 September 2020 in Minneapolis. Current sponsors include BookingPal, C2G Advisors and Beyond Pricing.
TNS has had a strong start to the year, recently partnering with Florida vacation rental platform VTrips and Colorado ski business Retreatia /Great Western Lodging.
