Engaging keynote sessions
The 2026 TravelTech Show opened with a captivating keynote from Harry Herbert, Enterprise GTM Lead at Anthropic. Harry focuses on helping organisations adopt transformative AI, safely and securely. He brings over a decade of enterprise experience, including roles at Stripe and Airwallex, where he led EMEA enterprise go-to-market efforts. Harry is passionate about the responsible development of AI and the transformative, positive impact it can have on businesses and individuals globally.
On Day Two, Matteo Cassese, Business coach and keynote speaker, shared how AI is coming for the travel industry. The travel industry has survived external shocks like terrorism, financial crises and pandemics by waiting for demand to return. This one is different because it does not attack demand. It changes how a trip gets planned, sold and booked, from the inside, whether or not you participate. What happened to engineers first, why it is coming for travel next, and what the people navigating it well are doing differently.
