The post ForsaTEK 2025 offers high-impact, scalable innovation appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

     

The Emirates Group’s annual flagship innovation and technology forum, ForsaTEK, is once again bringing cutting-edge technology partnerships, dynamic start-ups, thought-provoking discussions, and emerging talent developing game-changing concepts to the fore.

ForsaTEK has expanded its reach this year to drive greater innovation engagement across the Group’s different departments and businesses, focusing on scaling successful trials to extract the full value of promising innovation and solutions. This year, the annual forum’s themes highlight how AI, robotics and Internet of Things (IoT) will reshape aviation, in addition to the role human factors play in successful adoption of technology.

ForsaTEK was officially opened by Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive Emirates Airline and Group, who was accompanied by  Sarah Al Amiri, Minister of Education for the UAE, amongst senior Emirates Group executives for an official tour of innovation showcases.

Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said: “Building on the success of the first two editions, ForsaTEK 2025 underpins the Emirates Group’s continued commitment to anchoring the next wave of innovations within our business, scaling up existing innovations, supporting startups, and creating a powerful testbed of partnerships that introduce fresh solutions and propel our digital future forward.

The high impact showcases at every part of the innovation pipeline at ForsaTEK 2025 demonstrate how the Emirates Group is building an ecosystem to push new boundaries in AI, technology, research, and digital adoption. We hope all our teams and partners leave the event feeling inspired by tomorrow’s possibilities and determined to weave innovation, both big and small, into their everyday work lives.”

Technology showcases and driving start-up growth

This year, ForsaTEK featured over 40 in-house and partner showcases, strategically organised across the innovation pipeline spectrum, from early-stage research and prototyping, to proof-of-concept trials, and fully launched initiatives being scaled up.

Fully launched initiatives included Transguard and Emirates Group Security’s advanced autonomous robotics to enhance urban safety and security; dnata Cargo’s autonomous drone system for inventory validation; dnata’s 3D prototyping and custom manufacturing of spare parts; Emirates Airport Services’ AI-enabled aircraft turnaround analysis and resource optimisation system, amongst other aviation and customer-centric innovations.

Maintenance and engineering trials featured an AI and computer vision platform for fast, accurate engine part detection and identification; Apple Vision Pro-based augmented reality maintenance for enhanced visualisation of brake, wheel, and APU assemblies, and drone-based aircraft inspections, for fast, safe, and accurate aircraft exterior inspections.

A pitch zone also featured 13 start-ups showcasing their ideas to a panel of VIPs, investors, and tech industry representatives. People and youth engagement areas within the Experience Zone were also activated to showcase innovation journeys and enhance visitor engagement.

Sarah Al Amiri, UAE Minister of Education delivered ForsaTEK 2025’s opening keynote, focused around the ‘disruption of technology on public education’. The UAE recently announced the integration of AI into all levels of school curricula to prepare the nation’s youth for a world increasingly shaped by a rapidly evolving tech landscape, as well as positioning the UAE as a major global player in artificial intelligence.

The event’s exciting programme also included world-renowned tech experts and academics like Dr. Mark Esposito, Geostrategist and Advisor at the World Economic Forum and Harvard University Innovation Researcher delving into topics like reinventing and remobilisation of technology strategies; ‘Imagineering with Disney’; Younes Bensouda Mourri, Professor of AI at Stanford University who discussed rethinking human intelligence in an AI powered world; humanoid robots; and the future impact of AI on society and human advancement with Shekhar Kapur, Oscar-nominated filmmaker and AI philosopher.

At ForsaTEK 2025, the Emirates Group’s Afkar app was also launched. Afkar, which means ‘ideas’ in Arabic, is a company-wide digital platform that allows employees – wherever they work and whatever they do – to play their part in generating new ideas for implementation. The winning concept unveiled at this year’s event was the automation of visa validation for customers, removing yet another source of friction for passengers during their travel journeys.

‘Cvent Essentials’ from Cvent now available for cusomers

The post ‘Cvent Essentials’ from Cvent now available for cusomers appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

New solution purpose-built for small, repeatable in-person events empowers event and field marketing teams to scale their programs with speed, consistency, and control. Built through extensive feedback and early adopter testing, Cvent Essentials is already driving measurable results—and transforming how teams execute high-volume in-person experiences

Cvent announced the general availability of Cvent Essentials, its newest product designed for managing high-volume, simple in-person events. Now available to all Cvent customers, the solution simplifies the planning and execution of smaller, frequent gatherings—like field marketing activations, internal meetings, client trainings, and executive networking experiences—without the complexity or cost of traditional event management tools. The solution is purpose-built to help tenured event professionals set clear guidelines and easy-to-use event templates that anyone within their organisation can leverage to plan, market, and execute smaller events with minimal oversight or hands-on support.

“Cvent Essentials was built for the often overlooked, but critically important, category of smaller events,” said McNeel Keenan, Vice President of Product Management at Cvent. “It helps teams say ‘yes’ to more event requests without sacrificing brand consistency or data visibility. For many organisations, that means freeing up valuable time and resources to focus on flagship experiences—like annual conferences or major customer events—while still maintaining control and capturing impact from the hundreds of smaller, high-frequency events that often fly under the radar. With Essentials, every event—no matter the size—gets the attention and structure it deserves.”

Cvent Essentials has already been described by early adopters as a “revolutionary” advancement in their event programs. The tool emerged from a rigorous beta program that included hundreds of users across diverse industries and organisation size.

Key Capabilities of Cvent Essentials:

  • Radically Simplified Event Creation: Launch on-brand, compliant events in minutes using admin-approved templates—no design or development resources needed.
  • Streamlined Registration & Onsite Experience: Single-page online registration, along with walk-in registration and check-in via the Cvent OnArrival app to eliminate paper sign in sheets and provide valuable insights from reliable attendance data.
  • Built-in Engagement Tools: Live polling, Q&A, and post-event surveys help boost engagement in the room and capture meaningful insights.
  • Real-Time Data & Integrations: Native integration with critical MarTech platforms like Salesforce and HubSpot ensures timely data capture and stronger event ROI tracking.
  • Empowered, Distributed Teams: Unlimited Essentials-only users enable teams across the business to self-manage events within the guardrails defined by admins. Admins leverage a powerful templating system to maintain centralized governance of data collection, data privacy, security, and event design.

Responding to Industry Needs

Recent industry data shows 58% of organizations plan to increase their volume of small, in-person events in 2025–2026. Yet many teams are constrained by manual workflows, lack of visibility, and inconsistent execution. Cvent Essentials was purpose-built to overcome these challenges, allowing marketers to scale quickly without sacrificing quality or control.

What Customers Are Saying

“The simplicity of Cvent Essentials is unparalleled. This product is revolutionary.”
—Event Manager

“The events we host are up 40% over last year, but we don’t want to turn these engagement opportunities away. We need to redirect some of the events that are coming into our team and alleviate some of that work. Cvent Essentials is critical for that.”
—Events Manager

“Cvent Essentials has helped us with both our big and small events. With Cvent Essentials, I was able to copy over a pre-made template and get an event spun up in ten minutes. It makes my life way better because I don’t have to keep an eye on my email every hour.”
—Brand Engagement Manager

“The templates make it almost impossible to mess something up. It’s easy, fast, and works perfectly with our system.”
—Events Technology Manager

Donavanik: Thai hospitality continues to hold sway in a changing world

The post Donavanik: Thai hospitality continues to hold sway in a changing world appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Dusit International’s vice-chairman and executive committee chairman Chanin Donavanik shared his thoughts regarding how his company continues to stay relevant in the rapidly evolving field of global hospitality.

The hospitality mogul sat down for a keynote session with Hoftel chairman Simon Allison earlier today, 23rd June, at the South East Asia Hotel Investors’ Summit (SEAHIS) at Dusit Thani Bangkok.

As the session began, Donavanik said: “One of the most unique things about Thailand for us is that the feedback about us is very positive anywhere we go in the world. In fact, the good thing about Thailand is that, in terms of hospitality, we don’t have any issues.”

Keeping a Thai sensibility

Donavanik further pointed out that Dusit International has made it a point to retain a certain modicum of Thai charm and tradition in its properties on a global scale.

He cited some recent property developments in Japan to illustrate his point.

As he put it: “Our team opened two hotels in Japan around 18 months ago. While they featured Japanese architecture and interior design, we also added a touch of Thai interior design.”

Donavanik further pointed out that Dusit has long been considered a Thai-focused hospitality company.

He said: “Not a lot of hotels can say that, so I’d like to think that, as a hospitality company, we understand who we are. I hope our team will continue to do that.”

Coping with evolving demographics

During the course of the session, Allison pointed out the recent trend of travellers being considerably younger these days.

He raised a key point as to whether Dusit International will make adjustments to cater for younger guests or if the matter will be one for sub-brands like Dusit Princess or dusit d2 to get into.

Donavanik pointed out that the recently revitalised Dusit Thani Bangkok would serve as a good case study for this.

He explained: “I remember when we first launched the hotel: some of the families I knew wanted their children to get married at the Dusit Thani like they’d been. The children, however, would say that they weren’t sure if they wanted to go with Dusit Thani because, at the time, our hotel was old-fashioned.”

But following the hotel’s extensive refurbishment, younger customers have expressed greater interest in it.

As Donavanik puts it: “I think that, for any good property, it needs to be one that even younger guests can enjoy. They don’t have to come to us everyday, but they can come whenever they wish. In fact, I hope that we will continue to draw all kinds of people to our hotels.’

Additionally, the Maharaja built the city’s stunning Albert Hall as a tribute to the regal couple.
