Gerd Leonhard, CEO of The Futures Agency and renowned expert in technology and media, will be one of the keynote speakers at CON-X 2023 in Mallorca, where he will address the topic of ChatGPT, AI, and the future of travel.
In his speech, Leonhard will highlight how large language models and generative AI tools like ChatGPT have the potential to transform every aspect of the travel experience, from discovery and search to booking a trip or package and the actual experiences of travelers. Leonhard will describe what is behind the hype about AI and ChatGPT, what is real and what is not yet, what to expect in the next 5 years, and how to use these tools with caution and care. 
Leonhard's participation in CON-X 2023 will be a unique opportunity for conference attendees to gain a deep and valuable understanding of the impact that AI will have on the travel industry and how they can prepare to make the most of these technological innovations.
Mallorca will once again be at the centre of the global B2B hotel distribution landscape thanks to CON-X 2023.
On 10 May, more than 350 executives representing the most influential companies in the hotel distribution industry will attend a conference to discuss new technological trends in the market and the use of artificial intelligence for personalization and depersonalization. "Uncut: Now it's personal" is the name of the conference, which opens the door to inspiring personal experiences that have succeeded against all odds in other areas.
"We are in the hospitality industry and our business is to make people happy, to enable them to create memories that last forever. This conference is the perfect opportunity for all of us to connect as people, to really get to know each other in an informal but professional environment and, like our customers, build bonds that will last forever," explained Pedro Camara, founder of TravelgateX and responsible for the organization of CON-X 2023.
The last two editions of CON-X featured more than 20 speakers from around the world, more than 40 sponsors and more than 700 participants from all countries, generating more than 2,000 business meetings in a single day.
