At an enterprise level, the same technology is changing the very processes which have defined our 'traditional' approach to digital as brands. This is the case both at a productivity level, shifting how we work day-to-day but also when we look at what's possible and our role as destinations.

Key Takeaways

1. Exponential technology growth is with us. 

2. Machine intelligence is fundamental to Tourism Ireland's marketing future, everything else layers on top of that.

3. In order to meet consumer expectations, strategies need to incorporate machine learning, making marketing more personal.

4. The focus is being consumer-centric and understanding everything you do in the customer journey and the meaning of each engagement.
