Moving from Crisis to Business Recovery - Co-brand & Travel Reward Cards Virtual 2020

Date: 10 Nov 2020 - 11 Nov 2020    Location: Online, 10am EST    Delegates: 80+

 

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." 

It was also the place to share best practices and meet your fellow card industry professionals virtually via our fantastic conference app and Zoom networking roundtables.
 
The conference sessions took place from 10am - 12 Noon Eastern on both Tuesday, November 10th and Wednesday, November 11th. If you registered and were unable to attend, all the session recordings are available via the Whova app, along with additional exclusive content.

Pre-Event Workshop: Growing Concern & Continuity
Thursday October 8 2020, 11am EDT/ 5pm Central European Time


Workshop Overview: With the economic fallout of the pandemic, we should all worry about the ongoing risks every company involved in the Airline & Travel Industry is facing now.

Watch this session to find out the answer from the panel of experts shown below.
