    Real Travelers, Real Footage, Four Times the Clicks

    Sally Bunnell, CEO & Founder, NaviSavi

    Your passengers are already filming the trip, and the brands collecting that footage will know far more than what was booked. Sally Bunnell, CEO and founder of NaviSavi, unpacks how a library of 250,000 user generated travel videos is outperforming branded and AI generated content, why authentic footage earns four times the clicks, and how airlines can trade miles for passenger video to unlock behavioural data no transaction record can capture.

    89% of Airline Carts Never Convert

    Kameron Bertine

    Eighty-nine percent of airline shopping carts never reach payment — a worse rate than almost any other e-commerce category — and the fix may not be a redesign at all. Kameron Bertine, co-founder and CEO of Movmo, unpacks why airlines hemorrhage customers at checkout, how a ShopPay-style identity layer can sit on top of legacy PSS and NDC infrastructure without replacing it, and why he's deliberately sequencing a two-to-three year rollout before letting AI agents book on travelers' behalf.
