March 04, 2020 11:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MB

This year's Travel Technology Show Europe was, inevitably, dominated by conversations about the impact of the coronavirus outbreak. But delegates still managed to find the time to muse on other issues affecting the sector. We recorded another episode of The PundIT Show - PhocusWire's regular convening of experts to dissect matters of state during live events - at the show. Our guests covered trends such as startups, fancy (or folly) new technologies, challenges around technology and distr...

PhocusWire PundIT Show - Episode 19

September 11, 2019 09:00 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MB

What better way to dissect three days of airline chatter at a major event than convene two well-known figures in the sector for an episode of the PundIT Show. The World Aviation Festival in London last week brought together thousands of delegates to discuss issues as wide-ranging as retailing, distribution, sustainability and lots more. Triggering the 30 minutes of discussion are a series of questions about the event, such as what excited, surprised and, of course, the eye-rolling moments ...

The second of two PundIT Shows, recorded during Phocuswright Europe 2019 in Amsterdam in mid-May.

PhocusWire PundIT Show - Episode 15

November 19, 2018 14:00 - 25 minutes - 23 MB

The PundIT Show returns from a break over the summer of 2018 with the first of two podcasts recorded at The Phocuswright Conference. The advantage of grabbing a trio of podcast pundits during a major event is that their heads (and opinions) are in overdrive, having been exposed to the great and the good of the industry for a few days. Over the course of the podcast we discuss a wide range of issues, including the welcome absence of an overwhelming dose of blockchain in the proceedings, Pow...
