Travel Tech Con is an independent conference in San Francisco organized by travel startup founders who find the lack of innovation in travel disturbing. They’re bringing together founders and leaders to talk about the technologies that transform and inspire travel products and the opportunities that these technologies bring to the travel tech universe.
Join them for a full day of exciting talks on emerging technology in travel, networking sessions, lightning talks and a pitch competition with a very exciting prize!
Travel Startups Incubator is proud to sponsor this group and we encourage our audience to consider attending! TSI will be a judge at the pitch competition, and we will also be donating 1.5 advisory hours as a pitch competition prize.
