Save the date! Wed, November 24, 2021, 3:30 PM – 6:00 PM CET! [The Future Travel Summit](https://futuretravel.com/futuretravel-summit/) is the annual flagship event of FutureTravel.com – the weekly newsletter focused on travel trends & travel startups! 

## About Future Travel

FutureTravel is a free weekly newsletter informing you about what is next for the travel industry. After the whole travel & hospitality sector came to a halt during 2020, organizers of the event believe the industry and its innovators will use this time as an opportunity to reinvent their business and to adopt innovation faster than before. FutureTravel is here to bring forward the main innovative forces of the travel business. In 2021 the industry is going through a powerful change, and we are ready to keep you up to date on the main news, leading trends, innovations and players shaping the travel industry. 

## About Future Travel Summit

This year Apiumhub joins the very first Future Travel Summit as a collaborator, it will be 100% Online. Bringing together 10+ prominent industry leaders as speakers, and about 1,000 attendees, including many travel startups, investors and travel industry enthusiasts, the FutureTravel Summit will discuss the latest innovation trends in the travel industry and highlight some of the hottest travel startups globally!

One of the main event highlights will be an exciting pitch competition where 15 exciting travel startups will compete for a prize package worth €25,000. The winning startup team will receive a prize package that includes: $25,000 in AWS credits; $10,000 in Freshworks credits for their product suite; $2,300 in Semrush credits for their annual Guru plan; 1 year EU-Startups Club Membership for Startups & Scale-ups, and an exhibition stand at the EU-Startups Summit 2022 with 3 startup tickets.
