Executive Panel: Rebuilding the Stack While the Business Keeps Running

Travel companies know their technology stacks need to evolve, but transformation rarely happens on a blank slate. Legacy systems still power critical operations while new platforms, modular architectures and AI capabilities are layered in around them. This session examines the choices behind modernization: what to replace versus integrate, how to prepare teams for new ways of working, where AI is ready for core operations and how to build a more flexible technology foundation without disrupting the business.
