TripStax celebrates lift off at stellar launch event
TripStax took its “Tech to make your business boom” rocket-themed branding into a whole new orbit to create a stellar official launch party at the iconic Space Exhibit at the London Science Museum.
From rockets to satellites, probes to landers, the gallery showcases some out-of-this world objects. So, it was definitely an inspirational venue to roll out TripStax’s trademark pink carpet and welcome some 150 guests from all walks of the travel industry for such a special event.
TRIPSTAX launch party at the Science Museuem, London.Even more inspirational was guest of honour British astronaut Tim Peake, whose original Soyuz space capsule is on display at the Space Exhibit. The legendary ‘rocket man’ himself took to the stage for a fascinating Q&A session with TripStax CEO Jack Ramsey.
Also out-of-this-world were the cocktails and canapes, created by Bubble, the ‘haute couture’ event specialists who are renowned for their visionary menus and stylish service and were chosen to reflect TripStax’s own passion for creativity and innovation. Guests nibbled on delicacies such as beef cured trout, smoked cod & pickled watermelon crackers and Maple soy glazed lamb, and sipped on Matcha Majitos and Glorious Green Gimlets. There was even a futuristic ice-cream lab serving dessert.
Party guests were also wowed by tunes from top DJ and music producer Muga Caldado. His unique style of music includes an enigmatic touch characteristic of the artist himself and absolutely perfect for a party hosted by a unique and enigmatic tech company like TripStax!
ITM conference blasts off and accelerates into the future with TripStax
The Institute of Travel Management’s annual conference blasted off in Birmingham thanks to an injection of ‘rocket fuel’ from TripStax, who hosted the night cap drinks reception for delegates arriving on the eve of the event.
ITM is the UK & Ireland’s leading professional body for business travel buyers and suppliers and its annual conference is hugely respected for its high calibre programme of business sessions and networking events. Theme of this year’s conference was ‘Accelerate’ to reflect the business travel industry’s recovery post Covid. It was the first in person conference ITM has been able to organise for three years due to the pandemic
The TripStax team was on a mission to make sure guests experienced a memorable ‘lift off’ to the two-day conference by transforming the drinks reception venue with bold branding, rocket displays, bunting, balloons, and pink carpet. The buzz in the room was palpable as ITM members celebrated being back together with champagne, cocktails and canapes.
Two days later as the ITM conference neared its close, TripStax was front and centre again as sponsors of the final session entitled ‘Accelerating into The Future’ led by world renowned futurist Tom Cheesewright. In this mind-blowing session, Tom explained the structural shifts to work and life that are shaping the future, how travel and the value we place upon it has changed forever; and developments around AI and the metaverse are hurtling towards us all.
