Founders, Operators & Investors Tackle Travel's Future with the Travel Tech Association in San Francisco

What a night! We gathered at the beautiful Hotel Emblem in San Francisco for an energizing conversation about the future of travel — and the evening did not disappoint.

In partnership with the Travel Tech Association, we hosted an all-woman panel of founders, innovators, and investors who brought sharp insights to topics ranging from fundraising and customer acquisition to the opportunities shaping travel tech’s next chapter.

Moderated by Laura Chadwick, President & CEO of the Travel Tech Association, the discussion sparked plenty of great conversation among the 25 travel professionals in the room.

Our expert panelists:

• Hayley Melidonis, CEO & Founder at Bubbl — an AI powered community event travel platform.
• Anjali Kakkad, Lead TPM at Google Maps, and founder of Aligned Rewards.
• Kavitha Ramaswamy, Chief of Staff at Mercurius Media Capital, the first dedicated U.S. media-for-equity fund.

A huge thank you to our panelists for sharing so generously, to the Travel Tech Association for sponsoring the event, all of our attendees for their contributions, and to the wonderful team at Hotel Emblem for opening their doors to the Travel Massive community.
