The Airline & Travel Payments Recovery Virtual Summit (ATPS Virtual) was co-hosted with UATP. This event was dedicated to payments and fraud prevention strategies needed for airlines and travel-related businesses to survive. It took place for two hours on-line each day on both October 20 and October 21, timed for Europe/North America, as well as for two hours on October 22, timed for Asia-Pacific.

In the Covid-19 economy, no area of payments and fraud prevention can be overlooked as an opportunity for cost savings and new revenue streams. So, the ATPS Virtual was the place to connect with content to rapidly improve bottom-line revenues and to make the contacts which Airlines & Travel Companies need to do this. It was also a chance to hear of new ideas in the areas of Payment Acceptance and Fraud Prevention to bring the industry back to profitability.

Most presentations from this event are currently only available to participants. Recordings of the pre-event workshops and Lions' Den pitching contest are available on the Agenda page of this conference found above.

Largely by coincidence we found a panel of executives who are all French. More importantly, they are all payments experts - one from consulting, one from a Fintech and one from the airline industry trade body to add a perspective from each of the verticals on the take aways from the event.

This was a great session to hear their insights and network with your fellow participants from around the world.
