With a great turnout, exciting products and worldclass pitches, this Virtual Lions’ Den was the place to hear about some of the latest solutions to enable airlines and travel companies to protect themselves from fraud and improve payment processes.
This fast-paced session, took place on-line on Wednesday, May 20th, and featured 4 innovative companies pitching their ancillary revenue-related solutions for 5 minutes each to our esteemed panel of "Lions" (judges), all of whom have extensive payments experience.
