Second award for Spacebase as the concept makes a splash in San Francisco

BERLIN - March 24, 2015 - PRLog -- The conference brought together influential players and budding entrepreneurs to establish a discourse about the changing landscape of consumer behaviour and new technologies in travel. Held in the heart of San Francisco, The Start-Up Village featured a morning of creative seminars followed by an awards competition where 12 travel start-ups pitched to an experienced judging panel of investors and travel experts.

As a first-time participant, Julian Jost (founder of www.spacebase.com) presented the Spacebase concept to win judges over and claim the prize comprising a host of networking, sponsorship and development opportunities. The award comes just 3 weeks after Jost spoke as a ‘Travel Disruptor’ at the Phocuswright panel at ITB, the world’s leading travel trade show, and just 7 months after Spacebase received the Web In Travel 2014 Start Up Of The Year award in Singapore.

Although still in its infancy, it is clear that the Spacebase ball has begun to roll and is set to make a splash in the stagnant waters of the conservative meetings industry.
