FACTS is the premier event of the year for industry corporate travel, meetings & event and aviation professionals
25-26 November 2025
ICC Sydney
Four events under one big roof...
Bringing together Corporate Travel, Meetings & Events, Travel Technology and Aviation professionals ‘Down Under’ for the first time…
Introducing the Festival of Aviation Corporate Travel Summits (FACTS) - Australia’s biggest annual gathering of corporate travel, meetings and events, travel technology and aviation professionals.
FACTS is the intersection point for the Corporate Travel, Meetings & Events, Aviation and Travel Tech sectors that have become more tightly connected than ever before. Corporations are finding advantages in having a strategic approach to travel, meetings and events to meet financial, ESG and regulatory targets. The industry is rapidly adapting to provide more comprehensive solutions.
The bottom line: we need to learn from each other and engage in proactive, fact-based dialogue for change. Our businesses and owners demand it, our frontline travellers and colleagues demand it - and our planet demands it.
Enter !
The highly successful Australia Corporate Travel Summit (ACTS) is returning in 2025 as FACTS comprising four Summits under one roof:
Returning and expanding in 2025!
To address the growing demand for business meetings and events
To examine the crucial drivers of airline strategy & air capacity
To unearth the latest trends and technology supporting change
The Australia Corporate Travel Summit will be returning in 2025 with more sessions with free-flow buyer/supplier meetings.
By popular demand - a new business Meetings & Events Summit is planned to help corporations grow and manage this booming component of their travel and event programs.
Airline competition, product and capacity are vital to the corporate travel and meetings and events sectors in Australia. Hear from airline execs on their plans in this one-day Airline Futures Summit.
NEW in 2025 will be the Travel Tech and Innovation Summit, as disruptive technologies accelerate and change the face of the Corporate Travel and M&E sectors.

What’s different - and disruptive - about FACTS?
-
Our obsession with high quality content is unmatched. NONE of our Summit speakers are ‘pay-to-play’ and we have ZERO sponsored content in our Summits
-
Education seminars are offered to differing levels of industry experience. FACTS' program uniquely offers sessions tailored to delegates' level of industry experience (those with less than three years' in the industry, and those that are more tenured).
-
100% free flow meetings - no annoying speed-dating! Buyers are not locked into exhausting ‘hosted buyer programs’ and time wasted in pointless 1:1 meetings, but can instead use their time to connect with the exhibitors and delegates that they wish to meet
-
Suppliers can engage with 10x the number of buyers at once, by sharing innovative content. We encourage our exhibitors to provide immersive simulations and workshops of solutions at their booths - with spotlighted sessions on the Showcase Stage - within the Expo Floor Plan.
Make FACTS your #1 destination event in 2025!
Venue
FACTS will be held at the Award-winning ICC Sydney - at the heart of the biggest corporate travel, meetings and events market in the Southern Hemisphere: SYDNEY!
