  Partner Insights presented by NextGuest (formerly known as HEBS Digital): How to Capitalize on the Full Travel Planning Journey from Dreaming to Booking to Increase the Direct Channel
Travel planning. We all know from experience that a lot goes into planning the perfect vacation, and with so many devices and planning resources, the journey is complex. According to Google, in just a little over a 60-day booking window, the average person encounters over 38,983 digital micro-moments and interactions. Making matters worse for hoteliers, how are hoteliers supposed to reach qualified users on slim marketing dollars? In this workshop, NextGuest Digital and Sojern will provide strategies for reaching potential guests throughout the entire travel planning journey, and how to address key digital micro-moments in each phase to shape and influence the booking decision.
  Partner Insights presented by Knowland: The "Back to Basics" Retro-lution
While there are many benefits from automation in group sales, an over-reliance on technology to ‘feed’ inbound leads has turned many group sales and marketing professionals in hospitality into “order-takers.” With this reactive and transactional sales approach comes new operational risk. Relying solely on inbound channels to develop a sales strategy and build pipeline has caused acquisition costs to increase, a lack of control in forecasting revenue, and a loss of relationship with the customer. Empowering teams to sell smarter, which is a “back to basics” approach to marketing and selling, will return the steering wheel to revenue leaders to better forecast outcomes, control costs and ultimately forge better, long-term relationships with the customer.
