We just wrapped up a fundraising process in which I was asked about how AI going to impact our business over 100+ times. This clip from the @theallinpod sums it up perfectly. If you believe that AI is going to change business, making people more productive, thus giving them more time -- you also have to recognize that people want connection. And IRL events and experiences will take center stage in the upcoming decade. If you want a proof point, look at COVID. We were told to lock down at risk of death, and people still got together. Humans were made to be social -- made to connect. It's why at @tryallfly we took events and made it the center focal point of our business travel booking platform, Quest. I couldn't be more bullish and agree with overall sentiment of Ari Emanuel more. Events and IRL is the future.

As a product design nerd, I can't wait to roll out 2 features to our customers booking corporate travel for meetings: 🚀 social bookings (see who from your co booked this flight) 💰 split payments for upgrades and guest bookings

Looking back on this, which was filmed pre-COVID, this was SOLID advice!

I spend a lot of time thinking about and actively shaping the future of travel (thanks @bacarai). So I collected my thoughts in an article!! Let me know what you think! #GoogleTakesOutABigOTA #AmIWrong #travel #traveltech medium.com/@kenny_21514/6-tr…
