New Digital Merchandising

The digital transformation of user experiences has changed the ecosystem of the aviation industry. New retail is about sharing, integrating and adding value to customers, and the core factor is digitization.

In the face of digital revolution and diversified customer demands, how will airlines disrupt traditional marketing with digital innovation? What inspirations can be learned from the combination of content and e-commerce? How will O2O strategies connect multi touch points for users? How should airlines respond to the swift changes in consumer demands?

The 2018 Airline Merchandising Conference (2018 AMC) will be held in Shanghai on July 25-26, 2018. More than 650 mid-level or high-level executives in airlines and related industries will attend the event to seek insights and inspirations on "New Digital Merchandising".

  • This is the second time that I’ve attended a TravelDaily event, and I see a lot of improvement in experience, content and support services. Seating arrangements, Wi-Fi availability, jack sockets, dining venues, etc. are much better than the last time. More targeted topics were covered, in-depth discussions among international and domestic companies have successfully drawn our attention, even at the last afternoon session. The event’s APP and WeChat Mini Program have helped us get to know each other and communicate properly before the event, making us more focused on the content of the event. It has also protected individual privacy and improved efficiency. It would be more perfect if TravelDaily promotes and encourages everyone to better use their communication platform!

    ——Nan Li, Senior Consulting Director, Aviation and Travel and Government Industry, TalkingData
  • This is the first time that I have attended TravelDaily conference after dealing with TravelDaily for a long time. The event themed “Breaking Barrier” has identified the critical bottleneck for airlines. Breaking barriers seems to be the priority for airlines if they are to increase revenue, enhance customer loyalty, gain a bigger slice of the international market, and move ahead with technological innovations, ever-changing ideas and talented personnel. Breaking barriers mean adapting complex organizational structures, operations and procedures to external changes and segments, while lowering the threshold to be more collaborative and inclusive. For airlines, there are too many quality suppliers and buyers, and they need to see them as “partners” rather than “party B”.

    ——Jeremy Zeng, Vice President, LoyaltyChina
  • The logistics are well organized and your team demonstrated a very professional manner at such special timing. As always, the conference hosted by Travel Daily is informative and inspiring. Although I am not specialized in the Travel vertical, I have also learned a lot from the speakers, which is quite useful for me to understand the status quo of our prospects.

    ——Lily Huang, Senior Marketing Manager, Asia Pacific, Ingenico ePayments
  • This is an industry get-together with innovative viewpoints to learn from. It is well organized with logistical support and a professional and dedicated host team. I want to thank TravelDaily for hosting this event and for all their hard work.

    ——Linlin Chen, President, South China Branch, Baoku Online
  • The event informs us the problems, improvements and innovations in the industry. With an understanding of barriers and expectations, I hope to have access to more varieties of dialogue and interviews in addition to the current communications between airlines and OTAs in terms of cooperation and competition. I look forward to seeing more issues and ideas explored in future events.

    ——Hui Xie, Director of International PSS Operation, TravelSky
  • Having senior executives from various sectors in the industry as speakers have ensured the discussion content will be of good quality. The event presents different perspectives of participants in different roles on similar issues, and this helps lead to a deeper understanding of business patterns as well as mechanisms in the industry.

    ——Changzu Zeng, Director of E-Commerce Channel, China Southern Airlines
  • This is the first time I take part in the Airline Merchandising Conference by TravelDaily, which I found to be professional and of a high-standard.
