Explosive changes are afoot in the travel industry. Across the globe, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs and innovators have set ambitious targets to realise a new generation of transport solutions and journey possibilities in the coming years. It is predicted that in the 2020s the first iterations of these next generation transport options and passenger innovations could well be introduced, creating a whole raft of new travel experiences that will radically affect mainstream aviation and rail operations.
This year’s Passenger Experience Conference (PEC) will take place on 9 April 2018 at the Hamburg Messe in Germany, and is set to examine the impact of critical travel trends on the air and rail industries. It will kick off with an inspirational Plenary Session that will aim to define the vision and strategy for the future passenger experience. Boeing’s Director of Differentiation Strategy, Blake Emery will moderate a discussion entitled New Frontiers for Transport and the Passenger Experience. This session will consider some of the challenges of implementing next generation transport solutions such as driverless cars, hyperloops, optionally piloted air taxis, electric planes and space flights on the air and rail industry, particularly looking at how addressing those challenges will also help drive onboard and passenger experience innovations across mainstream aviation and rail operations.
