Global All-Stars 2018

Mainstage General Session:

Global All-Stars Innovators Showcase: Destination Storytelling, Placemaking & Artificial Intelligence

Wednesday, July 11, 2018, 4-5pm PDT

At the 2018 Global All-Stars Mainstage Session, we brought together three speakers and three critical trends that are reshaping destinations and travel. In this exciting session, we experienced a global storytelling journey with Airbnb, learning about the elements that drive their most compelling and buzzworthy content; heard from a world leading urban architect on the latest trends in “placemaking,” reimagining downtown and public spaces to benefit visitors, locals and businesses; and saw how Google Street View is bringing more advanced and compelling content to their platform and what this means for destinations. With remarkable insights, inspiration and ideas for your destination, check out the resources from Global All-Stars 2018.
