About the event
Passenger expectations have outpaced the systems built to meet them. Real-time visibility across touchpoints remains elusive, and most organisations still can't say with confidence whether the barrier is technology, data, or structure. This is the gap senior leaders across airlines, airports, ground services, and travel technology are being asked to close — and it's the starting point for this exclusive evening dinner, hosted by Thoughtworks in Singapore.
The conversation moves deliberately: first, an honest look at where passenger experience actually breaks down and why the gap persists despite years of investment. Second, what AI changes when it moves beyond back-office operations into the customer experience layer — from agentic commerce and dynamic retailing that act rather than merely recommend, to hyper-personalisation and loyalty models that go well beyond the points programme, and where the line between autonomous decisions and human judgement should sit. Third, the harder question of foundations: how disruption intelligence can turn an airline's worst moment into a loyalty moment, how the connected airport reshapes retail, dwell time, and the broader commercial journey, and what one concrete action your organisation could commit to in the next twelve months.
Topics to be discussed amongst others:
Agentic Commerce & Dynamic Retailing — From Recommending to Acting
Hyper-personalisation & Loyalty — Beyond the Points Programme
Disruption Intelligence — Turning the Worst Moment into a Loyalty Moment
The Connected Airport — Retail, Dwell Time & the Commercial Journey
Participant Criteria
Expect peer challenge, not panel theatre. A small group of senior executives, one focused discussion over dinner, and conclusions worth acting on.
The room will include Chief Technology Officers, Chief Digital Officers, VPs of Technology, Operations Innovation, and Commercial and Retail — leaders who own the decisions, from the entire airline ecosystem.
