Travelsoft, the Paris-based travel technology group powering over €50 billion in annual bookings, has appointed Nathalie Cabos as Managing Director of Eventiz, its media and events division. Cabos, who brings more than 15 years of experience in B2B media, marketing, and event management, will oversee Eventiz’s strategic direction and expansion across Europe.
Eventiz operates a portfolio of industry platforms that connect travel professionals, technology providers, and stakeholders. The company strengthened its UK presence in 2025 with the acquisition of Travolution, a move that broadened its footprint in the travel technology sector. Cabos’s appointment signals Travelsoft’s intent to accelerate that momentum.
Leadership and Industry Context
Christian Sabbagh, Founder and CEO of Travelsoft, commented: “Nathalie joins Eventiz at an important stage in its development. Her experience in scaling media businesses and building high-impact event platforms will be key as we continue to strengthen Eventiz’s position and accelerate its expansion across Europe.”
Cabos previously held senior leadership roles at Infopro Digital, Leaders League, and NetMedia Group, where she managed extensive event portfolios and drove innovative growth initiatives. She said: “There is a strong opportunity to further connect the travel industry through media, events, and technology, and I look forward to contributing to Eventiz’s continued growth across Europe.”
Eventiz’s events and media properties serve as networking and business-development hubs for the travel trade, covering segments from aviation and hospitality to MICE and travel technology. The division competes with other B2B travel media players such as Phocuswright and Travel Weekly Group, but its integration within Travelsoft’s broader technology ecosystem—which includes booking platforms, revenue management tools, and distribution solutions—gives it a unique vantage point.
Travelsoft, founded in 2000, employs more than 700 travel technology experts globally. Its technology underpins operations for airlines, hotel chains, tour operators, and travel agencies, processing tens of billions in transactions annually. The group’s portfolio includes brands such as Orchestra, Travel Compositor, and Atcore, alongside Eventiz.
The appointment comes as the European travel industry continues to recover and reshape post-pandemic, with increased demand for digital tools, data-driven marketing, and in-person events. Eventiz is well-positioned to capture that demand, particularly as travel technology becomes a central focus for industry events and media coverage.
For travel professionals—whether airline revenue managers, hotel group executives, cruise line planners, or tour operators—Eventiz’s platforms offer opportunities for visibility, partnership, and market intelligence. Cabos’s mandate includes expanding both the media and events sides, likely through organic growth and further acquisitions.

Meanwhile, PHAL Launches Agentic AI Advisory for Hospitality with Top Global Hotel Group, underscoring the growing role of artificial intelligence in travel operations.
Eventiz’s growth strategy also aligns with broader trends in the MICE sector, where hybrid and digital event formats are becoming standard. Cabos’s background in scaling media businesses suggests she will push for deeper integration between Eventiz’s editorial content and its event programming, creating a more cohesive value proposition for sponsors and attendees.
Travelsoft’s decision to place a seasoned media executive at the helm of Eventiz reflects a recognition that B2B media and events are not merely marketing channels but strategic assets that can drive ecosystem engagement and revenue. As the travel industry becomes increasingly technology-driven, the ability to convene decision-makers and disseminate insights becomes a competitive advantage.
Cabos’s tenure will be closely watched by industry observers, particularly as Eventiz seeks to expand its geographic reach beyond Western Europe into markets such as Southern Europe and the Nordics. The Travolution acquisition provided a beachhead in the UK, but further moves are likely.
For travel agents and tour operators, Eventiz’s events offer networking and educational opportunities that can help them stay competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape. The company’s focus on travel technology also makes it a relevant platform for vendors of GDS systems, booking engines, and CRM solutions.
