The Outdooractive Conference 2019: The speakers of the Digital Leadership Forum
In the global competition in digital markets, where technologies are developing rapidly, one term has become indispensable: digital Leadership. The tourism industry also has to deal with new tasks, tools and procedures in order to remain successful in the digital area. But before concrete individual measures can be initiated, destinations must first understand and develop the core elements of digital management, even if this means abandoning previous structures and approaches. How this can be successfully implemented will be discussed at this year’s Outdooractive Conference. In the Digital Leadership Forum exciting speakers will provide impetus for modern leadership.
