San Francisco, Aug. 12 – Through the NAJ Group, an unprecedented, first-ever gathering of leaders from the major companies in the world of the Internet—Facebook, Groupon, Twitter, TripAdvisor, LinkedIn, Pandora, Yelp! and others—will descend upon the upcoming 12th annual E-Tourism Summit (ETS) Sept. 29-30 at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco, making the event unique in the intersecting worlds of e-commerce and the travel and tourism industry.
Jake Steinman, president of the NAJ Group, which organizes ETS, said, “ Through 18 workshops and almost 40 presenters, tourism marketers can learn about the latest changes, updates and trends in social media, mobile marketing, measurability, search marketing, e-mail marketing, and video and website redesign directly from experts with tourism-specific experience. Last year one of our attendees referred to ETS as Fashion Week for digital tourism marketers, which I consider it the ultimate compliment.” View the full program here: http://bit.ly/o1DQCc
