LSA Spring Conference 2026
Dublin, Ireland
The Only Loyalty Fraud Event
| Date: | 19th - 20th May |
| Location: | Dublin, Ireland |
| Delegates: | 400+ |
While credit card fraud has leveled off or declined for many travel companies, fraudsters have shifted their focus directly to user accounts. Co-located with the Airline & Travel Payments Summit (ATPS) 2026 and Mega Event 2026 under the collective theme “Preparing for a Future of a-Commerce,” the 2026 Loyalty Security Alliance (LSA) Spring Conference tackled this evolving threat head-on.
Key Highlights:
-
Account & Credential Protection: Sessions explored industry best practices for securing customer credentials against sophisticated account takeover tactics.
-
The Agentic AI Arms Race: Experts analyzed how “a-commerce” and Agentic AI are transforming operations for both fraud prevention teams and fraudsters alike.
-
Exclusive Hotel & OTA Session: Hoteliers and applicable OTAs gathered for an exclusive, closed-door discussion under Chatham House Rules to address specific hotel fraud trends.
