Consumer Reports WebWatch has spent more than two years creating a body of the industry’s most sought-after, unbiased, performance-based research.

Join Bill McGee, one of the most respected names in travel journalism, in a no-holds-barred presentation and open forum among industry leaders and consumer groups on insights and data you can't find anywhere else:
  • Exclusive preview of new WebWatch research on booking first- and business-class airfares
  • Future trends in online travel, the biggest market force on the Web
  • The impact of "zillion-dollar" marketing competition among the 10 leading independent sites
  • Suppliers, such as hotel chains, "buying back" their distribution systems and promising exclusive deals
  • Online marketing practices that are confusing at best, deceptive at worst
  • The latest on WebWatch’s joint research venture with European consumer groups in the U.K., France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Denmark
  • Cutting through the advertising haze to determine what really rings true at the online cash register
  • How five little Web site guidelines can make a big difference in consumer trust
