The addresses will highlight a packed agenda that includes innovators from the most dynamic companies in hospitality today.

"We are delighted to be joined by Lee McCabe, Michael Saylor and a top-notch group of speakers and panelists whose experiences in the industry mark the rapidly accelerating pace of disruption and innovation we are all witnessing," said Patrick Bosworth, Duetto's Chief Executive, and Founder. "RSS is the only industry conference that focuses exclusively on disruption in our industry, and the forces propelling it forward. Lee is a leading practitioner, whose time at Expedia and Facebook, and now at Alibaba, reflect the extent to which new players and new models are not just entering the scene, but coming to dominate it. Michael is a noted philanthropist and visionary whose work in analytics and strategic planning in an era of disruption is pioneering and evocative. His book The Mobile Wave reveals insights about what is already unleashed as we all move to mobile devices.
