JOIN THE “MEGA CONVERSATION” AT MEGA EVENT 2024!



Join us in Calgary for the “Mega Conversation” at Mega Event 2024! As travellers
return to the skies and our industry starts to recover, it has been loyalty
programs (and especially co-branded credit card revenues), as well as ancillary
income, that have kept many airlines and travel related companies afloat. There
are lots of lessons to learn and that continue to be learnt from these past few
turbulent years. Join Mega Event 2024 to gain the best practices and contacts to
stay ahead of our rapidly changing travel market.

A few of the hot industry topics that will be presented, discussed and debated
include:

 * What is AI, and who is using it effectively now?  Can it really change
   loyalty and ancillary strategies?
 * Big Data is (was?) meant to have revolutionised segmentation and
   personalisation – who is delivering in the real world?
 * What impact will regulators have on ancillary selling practices?  Will they
   stop the billion dollar industry with legislation?
 * Taking your co-brand program global – what are the lessons from more
   regulated markets?
 * Are there new ancillary products to add to your existing mix?  Our Lions’ Den
   product pitching competition will showcase potential new ones
 * Loyalty meets payments – as more tech companies claim to be able to turn
   points instantly into cash at point of sale, and more programs over points +
   cash is this a long term trend or just a passing fad?
 * Are Industry Initiatives like NDC and One Order positive for airlines?

Mega Event is the place to meet industry professionals looking to discover and
share best practice.  To update themselves on the likes of AI and how it will
(or will not) change loyalty, co-brands and ancillary merchandising.

Scroll down to see the initial conference agenda.

If you are interested in speaking, please send an email to the Event Chairman,
Michael Smith by clicking here.

Sponsorships are also available and to get up-to-date details of what is
available, please reach out to Airline Information’s Managing Director
Christopher Staab for more details. Sponsorship options are also listed here.



On the morning of the 18th, Mega attendees will be invited to and intimate and
behind the scenes tour of the aviation collections at the Calgary Aviation
Museum. This will also include sitting in some of our historic aircraft!
Registration coming soon!
