2025 was the year where AI was everywhere. And into 2026 the focus is shifting to a-commerce and how Agentic AI will revolutionise everything airline and travel.
Is it hype or reality? Mega Event 2026 will be your one-stop conference to find out!
If you are involved in loyalty, ancillaries or co-brand card programs how can you best leverage a-commerce while building on existing developments? All of this and more will be on the agenda at Mega 2026.
The agenda covers everything from defining what a-commerce is (and isn’t) as well as practical use cases. It will be a chance to hear from practitioners that are working on implementing these projects today, rather than just selling the hype. This makes Mega a great place not only to learn from the industry but also to meet and network with them.
Following the success of last year’s twin conferences – Mega Event ran alongside the Airline & Travel Payment Summit (ATPS) – we’ve lined them up again this year. A-commerce will, if anything, accelerate how payments and fraud are meeting loyalty, ancillaries and co-brands. Delegates at Mega get to mix and match tracks – you can, for example, find out how fraudsters are taking over loyalty accounts and draining your members rewards – or even find out the best tech to turn your programs currency into more that just payments for more than just flights.
