PhoCusWright Selects AboutAnywhere.com as Demonstrator at the Travel Innovation
Summit on November 17, 2009
MIAMI, March 10 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Ashwin Kamlani, CEO of AboutAnywhere.com, operator of the world's only free online
distribution network for the hotel industry, has been selected to participate in PhoCusWright's
prestigious Travel Innovation Summit in Orlando, FL on November 17, 2009. The Summit is the
second of its kind by PhoCusWright, showcasing innovators from around the world whose
businesses focus on travel planning, purchasing and trending.
A few carefully selected companies will be showcasing the travel
industry's most innovative Web and mobile-based solutions. Participants and
attendees alike are guaranteed a very informative session, with valuable
opportunities to network, to sell their products and/or services, and to
partner with other members of the travel and hospitality industry.
The attendees of The Travel Innovation Summit carefully review and judge
each demonstration and select companies to participate in the high profile Center Stage portion
of The PhoCusWright Conference. Each finalist is
allotted "Five Minutes of Fame" during which time they go on stage, and have
the opportunity to once again demonstrate their product/service and be judged
by a panel of industry experts. Last year's Center Stage demonstrators were Home&Abroad,
TripIt, Triporati, Wandrian Inc., Yapta.com, and Interactive MOBILE @dvertising LLC -- also
named "Best in Show."
Mr. Kamlani is expected to discuss AboutAnywhere.com's controversial
commission-free model in detail and what its impact on the hospitality
industry will be, and already has been in the short time since the model's unveiling earlier this
year. In recent weeks the Company has announced
several distribution agreements with major hotel chains, and continues to grow
their portfolio of independent hotels through their automated Free Profile tool.
