Plans are apparently there to change. When I registered for this years ACTE Education Forum in Zurich on 11 May 2017 held in the Parky Hyatt Zurich I was expecting a relaxing afternoon with interesting topics and great discussons. The sessions announced on Digital Transformation and Hotel Sourcing were very promising. Only that my idea of having a quiet day later this week have changed dramatically. Which means that I will now be moderating two panel disucssions on the above subjects.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
