The Festival of Aviation Corporate Travel Summits, better known as FACTS, arrived in Australia for the very first time, bringing together the Corporate Travel, Meetings and Events, Travel Payments and Aviation sectors for a major annual gathering focused on learning, connection and industry progress.

The week brought these sectors together for engaging conversations, new connections and a fresh sense of industry momentum. Attendees enjoyed a positive mix of learning, networking and collaboration that highlighted the strength of the corporate travel community.

FACTS Events Tech Roadshow

Across the two day summit, acta participated in three dedicated Event Tech Roadshow sessions, giving attendees multiple opportunities to hear directly from CEO Harris Meitanis and COO Michael Westerway.

Each session featured a fast paced five minute presentation, where Harris and Michael walked through the challenges that have long made talent sourcing one of the most fragmented parts of the events industry. They demonstrated how acta’s commissionless, industry backed platform provides a single, trusted source of truth for organisers, enabling clearer communication, accurate representation, streamlined workflows and a far more transparent booking experience.

FACTS was a great chance to share how acta is working towards assisting a part of the events industry that has been too complex for far too long. Sharing with attendees how we believe that clearer connections and better technology can support organisers and talent alike was a real highlight! - Harris Meitanis (Founder & CEO, acta)

Events Tech Panel

Harris also took place in a panel discussion joining the From Booking to Breakout: Creating Seamless Delegate Journeys breakout, a session focused on shaping smoother, more personalised event experiences. Alongside leaders from Cvent, EventsAir, Joi, Encore and moderator Alana Hay.

Harris spoke about acta’s role in connecting event organisers with talent through Australia’s only industry backed directory. When asked where behind the scenes connections could become part of a seamless delegate journey, Harris highlighted the opportunity for event technology to streamline workflows for organisers, talent and suppliers, helping the entire ecosystem operate with less friction and greater clarity.
