About this Event
About this event:
Join Traveltech for Scotland and Edinburgh Futures Institute's Data + Design Lab on Wednesday 2nd November to help us imagine possible futures where travel technology can and should make a difference. This is a hyrbid / in-person event at the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute (ECCI) in Edinburgh.
As this is a hybrid event, under 'tickets', please select if you would like to attend in-person or online.
Travel and tourism in the next decade will look very different to the last. It has already changed. The pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the global travel industry, but also has future concerns to adapt to.
From last year's COP26 in Glasgow, we know that we all need to take immediate practical steps to drastically reduce carbon emissions. Something especially true for those working in the travel and tourism industry.
Travel technology will play an increasingly important role in the coming years. In Scotland, new businesses are already innovating to meet changing traveller expectations for safe and responsible travel.
The huge shifts required to meet net zero targets will present opportunities for entrepreneurs, technologists and researchers to make a meaningful impact.
Is this event for me?
Do you want to take action to shape the future of Travel and traveltech? Then this event is for you.
You might study or work in an industry, tech, design or research that will effect the future of travel or even a travel wanting to shape travel and tourism
What matters is that you recognise the role that innovation will play in reducing the impact of tourism and travel on the climate.
What will we do?
At the event we will hear rapid talks from experts to learn about some of the trends shaping travel and help open our thoughts on what the futures could be. Using provocation trend cards that we have created for this event, we will work in groups (in person or online) to come up with viable future scenarios for the travel industry.
What will happen after the event?
This is the first in a series of events which will help identify opportunities and priorities for the sector which you may want to use to form projects, new ventures or other proposals.
