9:15 AM Panel: Data, Preference, Policy: The Ultimate Alignment Playbook

The future of travel programs will be won by those who master the art of alignment. Too often, data insights, traveler preferences, and corporate policies operate in silos leading to frustrated travelers, missed savings, and compliance gaps. This session brings together leading travel buyers and partners to unpack how to sync these three critical pillars into a seamless, high-performing program.

3 Actionable Benchmark Takeaways:

    • Integrate Intelligence: Learn how best-in-class programs merge traveler data, spend analytics, and policy rules into one cohesive decision-making framework.
    • Personalize Within Parameters: Discover strategies to tailor traveler experiences without sacrificing compliance or cost control.
    • Policy That Evolves: Benchmark how peers are using data feedback loops to continually refine and modernize policies in real time.
