Tru appears at PhoCusWright Conference

Each year PhoCusWright run the prestigious Travel Innovation Summit in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

This year, Tru was fortunate to be selected as one of the presenters at the conference.

Head here to see the full presentation that Gary Cohen (Senior VP and General Manager - Americas) and Marc LeMaitre (VP of Technical Sales) delivered.

It was very well-received, and led to some great conversations on Twitter, and some great press coverage too.

Part of the presentation was a video the experiences of Savvy Sue (a Tru user) and Premium Paul (not a Tru user) on a recent business trip.

We ended up being voted runner-up in one of the 7 event categories, and finalist in two others. Well done to all the other companies presenting - we had a great time and look forward to meeting everyone again at next year's event.

We won a BIMA Award!

The award ceremony was held last week, and we are very excited to say that we won!

We were up against some strong competition (congratulations to the other nominees) so to win is very exciting and shows that turning an iPod touch into a phone with Truphone is something that really impresses people.
