3 great conferences, one convenient location!

• Distribution Marketing and Sales
• Revenue Management
• CRM and Customer Loyalty

The Revenue Management and Pricing in Travel conference is one of the three conferences that make up the 2008 summit.

Revenue Management sits at the core of your company's profitability. A revenue manager's ability to increase profit from an already-functioning distribution system is a vital asset that is effectively a profit multiplier. This conference follows on from our highly successful Revenue Management and Pricing in Travel 2007 conference, which attracted over 100 Revenue Managers to Bangkok last January.

After several months of in-depth research, we have produced an agenda that reflects what Asia-Pacific revenue managers consider to be the important topics of 2008.

You will I am sure agree that the issues of 'Human Capital' must be dealt with by Revenue Managers with increasing frequency — you will be able to get expert advice about how to source, train and retain the best RM talent.

Best Rate Guarantee is perhaps the burning topic of the moment and this forum will be an excellent place to hear from the different protagonists. You will be able to listen to the different points of view and most importantly consider what the outcome of this apparently impossible problem might be.

Other topics include:

• Integrating Sales and Marketing with your Revenue Management
• Forecasting through the economic boom
• Pricing Strategy, Price Sensitivity and How to Successfully Leverage your Brand
