When we embarked on the journey to produce the Tech & Tourism Conference in February 2024, we knew it had the potential to be something special. What we didn’t anticipate was the ripple effect it would create—sparking conversations, collaborations, and ideas that continue to evolve long after the event ended.

Now, as the official partner and producer of the 2025 Tech & Tourism Conference yet again, we’re thrilled to help shape the future of this growing platform, which has quickly become a cornerstone for innovation in the tech and tourism industries.

A Bigger, Better Vision for 2025
This year’s theme, Lean In!, resonates deeplywith us at Mercatique Consulting. It’s a call to action to embrace change, challenge norms, and actively contribute to building a future where technology seamlessly integrates with the tourism industry.

As conference producers, our role extends beyond logistics—it’s about creating a space where big ideas meet practical solutions. This is why we’re enhancing the 2025 event experience with streamlined, automated systems that simplify communication, registration, and event flows for attendees, speakers, and stakeholders alike.

From automated confirmation emails and reminder sequences to detailed aide-mémoires for speakers and partners, our systems ensure that every detail is handled with precision. We want everyone involved to focus on the content and connections that matter—not on the admin.

The Growth of a Platform
The Tech & Tourism Conference isn’t just an event—it’s a platformfor transformation. As we see it grow, we take pride in knowing we’ve played a role in fostering an environment where ideas can flourish and partnerships can thrive.

One of the highlights we’re most excited about is the birth of the TechTour Pitch Den. An innovative platform watching startups pitch their tech solutions to travel industry heavyweights. It’s not just about funding opportunities—it’s about connecting visionaries with the right networks to bring their ideas to life.

We’re also expanding the speaker lineup and offering more curated sessions and workshops, ensuring that every attendee walks away with actionable insights and meaningful connections.

Why It Matters to Us
For Mercatique Consulting, this conference aligns perfectly with what we’re about—crafting solutions as solutions architects and creating opportunities for growth. Our team is dedicated to delivering an event that goes beyond expectations, merging technology and creativity to elevate the attendee experience.
We’ve always believed that well-executed events can be catalysts for change, and the Tech & Tourism Conference is proof of that. This platform is not only reshaping how technology supports tourism but also showing how innovation can be used to address challenges, create efficiencies, and spark new possibilities.

February 2025: A Moment to Lean In
As we count down to February 2025, we’reworking tirelessly to ensure next year’s conference builds on the energy and success of the inaugural event. Our team is in full production mode, refining workflows, implementing systems, scouting an amazing venue, and curating content to ensure the experience is seamless from start to finish.

If the 2024 conference was about launching a vision, then 2025 is about leaning into that momentum and expanding it even further.

So, join us on this journey. Lean into the conversations, the collaborations, and the innovationsthat will define the future of tech and tourism. We can’t wait to see you there.
