🌟 💐 Celebrating International Women's Day at Kaptio! 🌍 💪

We're honored to work with the best and the brightest women in the business and proudly announce that our senior leadership team has achieved 50% gender balance. Today and everyday, Kaptio stands for progress, inclusion, and empowerment.

On this special day, let's unite for U.N. Sustainability Goal Five: Gender Equality. While we've come a long way, there's still much work to be done. According to the U.N., it will be another 140 years before the world reaches equal representation in leadership and professional roles, highlighting the importance of continuing our collective efforts.

Hey world! We kicked off 2024 with so many exciting events and partnerships that we might need a vacation to recover. Maybe Intrepid Travel can suggest an amazing adventure in some far-flung dream locale for us to try?
Although, we did just ink a long-term, global partnership with them to modernize their reservation technology, and we are kicking off the project this month. We are looking forward to this exciting technology journey with them. So, the holiday may have to wait.

Partnership is a strategic decision to future-proof the business with tech

Our team came closer together and revised our successes and challenges this year.

Seeing how much our customers were able to achieve, with a smaller headcount than before, has been simply inspiring and heart-warming. This will continue to fuel our mission to accelerate their growth.

With the same passion for the multi-day travel industry, we say 🎄 Happy Holidays, and thank you for a fantastic 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣. We hope that 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ will bring more success and that we continue to drive innovation with the ambition of all of you ❄

With our warmest regards,

This incredible Skift article captures many of the challenges the multi-day travel sector faces, and how our customers are overcoming them by investing in Software-as-a-Service for their digital transformation.

We are humbled to be featured and to get the opportunity to share our customers' success. The passion that has been driving Kaptio since its foundation is enabling the growth of these ambitious multi-day travel brands. 👌They understood the assignment: every penny spent on digital transformation was an investment in their future growth and future-proofing their businesses. Today we can attest that our customers came out of the pandemic stronger than ever, which is exactly what we work for. And the journey doesn't end here, does it?

Thank you, Rashaad Jorden, for covering this story and to all our hyper-passionate partners and friends who shared their perspectives on the Tech Revolution: Leigh Barnes, Tony Carne, Andrew Steward, Tom Buckley, Eli White, Manuel Hilty.

How do you celebrate summer? 👀

Psst: If you are not Iceland-based, would you have guessed that wool would be summer attire? 😳
