KAYAK for Business Simplifies Corporate Travel Planning with New Events Feature

The most seamless way to bring teams — and guests — together, anywhere

NORWALK, Conn., Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KAYAK for Business, the brand's corporate travel platform, today announced the launch of Events, a new way for companies to plan and manage event travel at scale. Designed to reduce the time and complexity that comes with planning and attending corporate events, the new feature brings travel directly into the event workflow, making it easier for attendees to book their travel correctly and compliantly, and for planners to track and organize it.

Events enables KAYAK for Business users to set clear travel policies and payment rules upfront, allow each attendee to book their own compliant travel through a single link, and then invite up to 10,000 attendees' eliminating policy confusion, missed bookings, and endless email back-and-forth. Companies can also import and link events from existing event management tools into KAYAK for Business, then manage invitations, bookings and attendee travel centrally.

From small offsites to large-scale meetings, recruiting events, and more, the new feature simplifies travel planning for both employees and non-employee travelers, such as candidates, interns, new hires, and other guests.

"Coordinating travel logistics for business events can be a major productivity drain for organizers and attendees. We designed this feature to centralize event travel and information for attendees, leaders and admins so everyone can focus on what matters: the connections, impact and in-person learning that events deliver," says Eva Fouquet, SVP, KAYAK for Business.
