THIS YEAR'S JUDGES

Our judging panel for the Business Travel Show America 2026 Innovation Faceoff is built to put new solutions to the real-world test. It brings together two corporate travel buyers who know exactly what a winning product needs to deliver, last year's Innovation Faceoff champion, and a senior member of The BTN Group editorial team — combining the buyer's eye, the innovator's experience and the journalist's scrutiny.
