Phocuswright Travel Tech Fellowship

Phocuswright's Travel Tech Fellowship is a 10-week immersion program and lifelong community designed for founders, practitioners, leaders, investors, and operators in the travel technology space. The program combines hand-picked participants to connect, build, and share ideas pushing the boundaries of travel tech. While primarily virtual, participants meet twice yearly in-person during the Phocuswright Conference (USA and Europe). The fellowship aims to build lasting relationships and create a powerful life-long community within the travel tech ecosystem.

The advertised workload estimates differ: one typical-month description gives 2–4 hours of programming per week, while the FAQ estimates about two hours weekly during immersion, with week-to-week variation. Attendance at every function is not required or expected. Consider whether the schedule works in your time zone; GMT+3 and some other time zones may be challenging.

Open to founders, operators, and investors from diverse backgrounds globally who share a strong passion to start and grow companies, invest in their career, elevate their network, and make a bigger impact on travel. The program welcomes anyone committed to the travel technology sector.
