Co-Brand & Travel Rewards 2020 was an event dedicated to professionals who run co-brand and travel reward card programs. From card issuers, merchants, companies and professionals who put cards in consumers' hands, and increasingly in their mobile wallets, this was the place to learn what's coming next - something hard to know in the current "Covid Economy."
