Many airlines and travel-related companies are seeing credit card fraud at steady levels, or even see it declining. However, fraudsters are not standing still. They’ve found other entry points into businesses- the account.
The 2026 Loyalty Security Event will explore best practices for better protecting accounts and customer credentials, among other hot trends in Fraud Prevention, including AgenticAI. Conference sessions will also explore how AgenticAI will soon transform how both fraud teams and fraudsters operate, and what businesses need to do to prepare for “a-commerce.”
The LSA Spring Conference 2026 will be hosted as part of Airline Information’s Airline & Travel Payments Summit 2026 and Mega Event 2026. The theme for all of these events is “Preparing for a Future of a-Commerce.”
You can find the companies which participated last year, a few of the hot topics that will be covered in this event, as well as this conference’s Sponsorship options below. The conference agenda will be shared shortly.
During registration, those working in hotel companies and OTA’s which sell hotel content, will meet in a closed door discussion group with Chatham House Rules. If you work in a hotel or applicable OTA, join this session to get ahead of hotel fraud trends.
