TNW & THE DESIGN SUMMIT

The design summit is all about making connections - between ideas and people. It is time to create space to solve challenges, generate ideas to boost the experience economy and move ideas into prototypes.
Enjoy the programme of TNW València and in the afternoon be ready to get fully immersed in an AI exploratory session with industry leaders that will look at the potential - or potential disruption- of AI in tourism.

DTTT Events have Evolved

Since our first ever event in Barcelona back in 2012, DTTT events have been something to look forward to every year by DMO leaders from across the world. With the extreme changes brought by the pandemic in 2020, we decided to redefine our previous events to make sure they respond to today's needs and challenges.

#DTTTGlobal was an annual flagship event held by the Digital Tourism Think Tank working in close collaboration with its partners and the host destination. It was designed for DMOs worldwide and others in the travel industry to share and exchange knowledge and best practice on Digital Marketing and Destination Transformation. Since 2020 Global has been transformed into X. Festival, which has gathered hundreds of tourism leaders.

The unique format behind #DTTT Campus was one that created a stir in the tourism industry thanks to its refreshingly down-to-earth, relaxed and informal approach. #DTTT Campus was a call for DMOs to be part of global change. Leaders of travel and tourism, inspired in the home of innovation, to take action and change the future of travel for good. This has now been transformed into X. Design Week, which is ran as a mega design sprint.
