Confirming SUMMIT’s position as a global reference point for travel technology leaders.
Designed as a space where technology meets real travel challenges, SUMMIT 2026 stood as the Home of Innovation, gathering industry leaders, experts and partners to explore how data intelligence, cybersecurity, AI and Fintech are transforming the way travel companies operate, connect and grow.
More than a conference, the SUMMIT positioned itself as a meeting point for conversations, shared experiences and strategic collaborations across the travel value chain.
The New Era: shaping the future together
One of the central pillars of SUMMIT 2026 was “The New Era”, a concept that reflects how the entire Juniper ecosystem is collectively shaping the future of travel technology and defining new rules for a constantly evolving industry.
AI took center stage during this edition. Joined by JuliA, Juan Mateos shared insights into how artificial intelligence is already transforming travel technology. The session introduces upcoming AI-driven products designed to help travel companies operate more efficiently, connect seamlessly and scale sustainably.
The message was clear: AI is no longer something that is coming; it is already here.
A shared vision with industry leaders
Within the same framework, roundtable sessions brought together key players across the industry to exchange perspectives on the challenges and opportunities to shape travel technology today.
Three high-level round tables reinforced SUMMIT’s collaborative spirit and industry relevance:
