You will also hear from leading cruise and IT specialists, including Co-Founder and CEO of theICEway, Ian Richardson.
Ian has worked in the cruise industry for over 20 years. During that time, he has held a number of prestigious posts including chair of the CLIA Executive Partner Technology Initiative. In his Seatrade Cruise role, he is already leading discussions encompassing innovation – one of the core pillars of theICEway.
“Seatrade Cruise Virtual: Tech & Innovation will bring people in the industry together. They’ll be able to share ideas and updates of their own, as well as learning about how cruise is adopting cutting-edge technology to improve experiences for guests and crew.
A safe return to sailing is of course the immediate goal but for the longer-term, it is about evolving and solving issues both old and new”.
As he stated in a recent interview with Seatrade, “cruising will not be the same as before, it will be even better!”. For our part, we fully support that view and are doing all we can then to ensure it happens.
