More details have been announced about the upcoming Phocuswright Europe conference , 16- 18 May 2017.
The event is taking place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, at the historic Beurs van Berlage. It will feature travel innovators, executive keynotes, panel discussions and debates, as well as exhibition and networking opportunities.
“We are excited to be in Amsterdam for our fourth installment of Phocuswright Europe,” said Phocuswright’s president, Simon Lehmann.
