About

Outlook 2018 is Australia’s pre-eminent national tourism industry and policy conference. Since its inception in 2006, Outlook has developed into one of TTF’s most significant events for its members and the broader tourism industry.

The event will feature Australian and international keynote speakers, expert panels and case studies.

The conference will bring together public and private sector experts from throughout Australia and across the globe and compromises a one-day conference concluding with the newly introduced closing canapes and cocktails providing an environment conductive to networking and an opportunity to discuss insights from the day’s program. It will provide unrivaled opportunities to engage and connect with industry leaders, to network and to generate new business opportunities.

In 2018, Outlook will feature the theme ‘ Ahead of the Curve’ which will incorporate a new and exciting format. The program will offer a broader range of topics such as:

  • The rise of the shared economy
  • The global overtourism phenomenon
  • Security at major events and hotels with the threat of terrorism
  • The skills and labour shortages affecting the tourism industry

Offering more choice, TTF has significantly increased the number of sessions on the program for 2018, providing attendees with the opportunity to hear a broad spectrum of topics that will highlight key issues across the various industry sectors.

Following the conclusion of the official program, delegates will be invited to attend another new highlight to the conference, the closing networking drinks, where they will have the opportunity to enjoy a beverage and canapés whilst discussing their thoughts and insights on the content throughout the day.

This is a conference not to be missed and don’t forget to stay up to date with all the latest news on Twitter and LinkedIn.
