David Kenworthy, Presenter
As Vice President of Product & Innovation at MMGY Global, David Kenworthy leads the company's product vision, innovation strategy, and emerging technology initiatives. He spearheads the development of MMGY's Horizon Dynamic Experience Platform, an AI-native system designed to help destination marketing organizations create smarter, more personalized digital experiences while preparing for the future of travel marketing.
At this year's Annual Meeting, David will introduce the Lee County Visitor & Convention Bureau's new AI-powered website, sharing how emerging technologies are reshaping the way destinations connect with travelers and deliver seamless, personalized experiences.
When he's not pushing the boundaries of digital innovation, you'll likely find David chasing fresh powder or tackling mountain bike trails. He traded the rolling hills of northern England for Canada's towering peaks because, in his words, "life's too short for small mountains and mediocre trails." What began as a mountain biking adventure became a lifelong passion for everything that goes fast on snow and dirt.
Part outdoor enthusiast, part technology innovator, David is passionate about helping destinations and outdoor brands embrace AI without losing the authenticity and sense of adventure that inspire people to travel in the first place. His ability to translate complex technology into practical, real-world solutions makes him a leading voice on the future of destination marketing and the perfect guide for unveiling what's next for Lee County's digital visitor experience.
