Leading executives from Uber and Sabre will present the keynote addresses at next week’s Business Travel Show in London.

They will cover the future of urban mobility and Industry 4.0, described as the fourth industrial revolution.

Sabre Travel Network interim president Wade Jones and Uber Enterprise global head Travis Bogard are among more than 175 speakers delivering 60 conference sessions a the event on February 22-13 at Olympia.

Jones said: “The Internet of Things is starting to affect environments of all kinds and by 2025, the economic impact could be as much as $11.1 trillion.

“Referred to as the fourth industrial revolution, this is set to transform the travel experience as we know it – with many exciting consequences for travel buyers and travellers alike.

“My keynote will give a glimpse into a fully connected ‘smart’ travel journey and what this evolution will mean for the business travel industry.”

Business Travel Show event director David Chapple added: “It’s such a coup for us – and our visitors – to have not one, but two, keynote addresses at the show this year from travel and technology visionaries such as Wade and Travis – they will be packed full of inspirational advice and practical takeaways.”
