What?
Beyond brings together every customer vertical of the travel & hospitality sectors to face industry challenges with the combined capabilities of Amadeus, Outpayce and Voxel and our tech partners.
Why?
We firmly believe that when the entire ecosystem comes together, innovation accelerates exponentially. The challenges of our industry do not exist in isolation, so its conversations shouldn’t either.
Who?
Senior decision-makers from hotels, travel suppliers, travel sellers, payment service providers, schemes, travel tech companies and the wider travel & hospitality ecosystem.
What to expect?
We will bring speakers to talk about what’s happening and what to expect for the future of travel & hospitality.

Beyond pillars
Be-open
Listen wider, learn faster, and let ideas flow across verticals because when perspectives meet, innovation compounds. Curiosity is our catalyst.

Speak your truth, hear others’ truths, and choose the industry’s progress over individual agendas. Real connection starts with listening.
Be-there
Show up. Lean in. Leave fingerprints on the future. Roll up your sleeves in the workshops: co‑create, test, and move the needle together.
Be-you
Play, wonder, and bring your essence. When you connect with yourself, you connect better with everyone else.
Be-bold
Make the future blink. Grab the ecosystem moment, ship the status quo, and help set the pace of travel innovation.
