A huge thanks to over 180 travel innovators and leaders who joined us in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this week for our Australian Travel Innovation Week with Travel Massive, Stripe and Scalerr.
This special event series connected industry pioneers, leading travel brands, and disruptive Australian startups reshaping the future of travel hospitality across three days of events. We welcomed many new members to the Australian Travel Massive community, and reconnected with long-time supporters.
A big thanks to our speakers for sharing their excellent insights in our panels — Helen Fee (General Manager APAC at Rezdy), Mennan Yelkenci (Founder & CEO at Booked AI), Michael Krywyn (Head of Commercial at Slice Pay), and James Lemon (Global Lead - Travel, Transport, Leisure at Stripe) for moderating.
Also thanks to Kerry Tate (Global Director - Travel Technology at Scalerr) and our local chapter leaders for bringing the community together in all three cities — Jean Cheney (Melbourne), Sarah Rhodes (Sydney) and Dennis Basham (Brisbane). And to QT Hotel, Little National Hotel, and The Precinct for hosting our events!
— See you at upcoming Stripe x Travel Massive events in Singapore and London later this year!

This week was so exciting and rewarding in so many ways!
From Melbourne, Sydney to Brisbane - it felt like an amazing race with our speakers as we hosted these events each consecutive day. A big thanks to all our members for coming out to support these events, and to our local chapter leaders Jean, Sarah and Dennis for helping making the planning so smooth, and for sharing their photos from the events.
This week was a great example of the power of joining forces and bringing community together for the good of the industry and our members.
