Every now and again, it’s important – not to mention refreshing – to take a step back from your day-to-day responsibilities and discuss new ideas and evaluate what others have done and are doing to accomplish goals that may be similar to yours.  The GetThere Summit is opportunity to engage in one of those times.

New Coke—customers didn't want it.  Ford Edsel—customers thought it was ugly. Apple Newton—customers didn't know how to use it. Each of these product launches were tremendous flops for well-established brands that tried to do something different and innovative.  In their attempt to foray into new territory they forgot that more important than being innovative is listening to your customers. While GetThere is focused on delivering the newest innovations in travel technology, we also want to ensure we are delivering products that our customers want, like and can easily use.  That is why our user interface design work is so important.
