Kukunu, founded by an Ex Amazon and a Physics PhD, has been selected to present at The Travel Innovation Summit, taking place at The PhoCusWright Conference (November 16-18, 2010 in Phoenix, Ariz., USA).

Since launching their beta service in July, thousands of travelers have planned their trips on Kukunu. The team has been working closely with users to further develop their service and remove friction from the travel planning experience.

“We’ve been working with passionate travelers to understand the friction in the travel planning process and develop a better experience that will make planning fun, easy and smart… I’m excited to showcase these improvements in our newest release in Arizona.” says Itamar Lesuisse, CEO of Kukunu.

Backed by Xavier Niel, Marc Simoncini and Seedcamp, the UK-based start up plans to unveil new features to the Travel Innovation Summit attendees. The newest release will boast a simpler and more collaborative planning experience, and provide users improved integration with their social network.
