Our Story So Far...
2024
In November 2024 we held our foundation 1-day event in Sydney and the buzz was amazing. We welcomed close to 500 attendees including over 120 corporate travel buyers.
2025
In 2025, high demand from exhibitors and attendees required FACTS to take on a larger footprint and agenda. We established our new ‘home’ at Sydney’s ICC, expanded our event agenda to 2-days and established four dedicated industry summits to take place under one roof; corporate travel, business events, aviation futures and travel payments.
2026
​​In 2026 we’re expecting a record year; 2000+ attendees, 600+ qualified buyers, and 180+ exhibitors and sponsors. We’ll be providing extensive coverage on the trends and influences impacting the corporate travel and aviation industries. New in 2026 is the addition of dedicated learning streams for small businesses and EAs/PAs. Once again, suppliers also have an opportunity to showcase their latest products, services and solutions to qualified buyers at the event's exhibition area.
