Data Is Beautiful

David McCandless, Founder, Information is Beautiful

David will take the audience on a data-driven tour of the universe with fascinating insights into the wonderful world we live in.

He will explain how the brain is particularly sensitive to patterns. When you convert data and numbers into color, shape, and patterns the brain engages and suddenly you start to see things, spot trends and movement that you may not have seen in a wall of numbers on a spreadsheet.

On Your Marks, Get Set, Go! Fuel for The Hospitality Commercial Race.

Jonathan Fuentes, Hospitality Technology Strategy Manager, Accenture

Jonathan will talk about how to use data to drive revenues in hospitality. He will focus on the current situation and ask how can hotels strategize when historical data is no longer viable? He will talk through alternative data sources: analytical data, third-party data, and data available on the web and social networks, etc., and how hotels should use this data to increase revenue.
