Some vendors use INTIX’s annual conference and exhibition as a valuable networking opportunity. Others treat it like a great big celebration. Stay22 is viewing INTIX 2025 as a homecoming of sorts.
Chief Commercial Officer Frederic Aouad says, “The last time Stay22 attended INTIX was back in January 2020, which was also in New York City. Back then, our sole purpose was helping ticketing companies monetize the travel intent of their patrons. Then, the pandemic hit. And with travel and events grinding to a halt, we pivoted to serving bloggers and publishers. Fast-forward four years, and after a ton of hard work, a sprinkle of luck and a 30-times growth journey, we’re back where we belong: supporting live events.”
Stay22 is a travel technology company that offers affiliate revenue generation opportunities for events, ticketing and travel media publications to monetize the travel intent of their audience or organization. At INTIX 2025, Aouad and his colleagues will be looking to remind attendees that Stay22 has a unique value proposition that benefits customers by allowing them to find the perfect accommodation near an event they are attending.

He states, “As a ticketing company or event producer, Stay22 adds value to your [user experience] and creates a passive revenue stream. We’re stronger, smarter and more passionate than ever about helping this industry thrive.”
Among Stay22’s most popular offerings is its MAP product, which is built for events, ticketing platforms and travel medias. INTIX 2025 attendees will learn how the Stay22 MAP helps them earn affiliate revenue while giving your visitors tailored offers around the events they will be attending. Aouad remarks, “Live events are all about specific locations—and what communicates a location better than a map? Stay22’s dynamic, customizable maps don’t just look good, they work hard. Every time you help a fan with their travel plans, you earn passive revenue. They’re free, they improve the user experience and they work wonders on confirmation emails, event detail pages and more. Win-win-win!”
Another thing that distinguishes Stay22 is its tech support. Aouad says, “We like to think of ourselves as the tech-support version of your best friend: reliable, approachable and always there for you. Each Stay22 partner gets a dedicated Partner Success associate who will walk you through onboarding, answer your questions and brainstorm new revenue growth ideas with you. Plus, they’re just really nice people.”
Moving forward, Stay22 will be looking to stay ahead of the curve in terms of trends and new and emerging technology. Aouad believes that 2025 is already shaping up to be a big year for innovation with regards to live events. He listed two trends, in particular, he will be keeping an eye on. “Personalization on steroids” is the first one. He explains, “Fans expect every interaction to feel tailor-made, whether it’s the ticket-buying process, travel suggestions or event updates. Tools like our Allez AI-optimized links are paving the way to smarter, more intuitive user experiences.”
And the second trend that has his attention? “Seamless monetization,” he states. “Forget clunky upsells or intrusive ads. The future is about embedding monetization so smoothly that it feels like a natural part of the fan journey.”
But what commands the lion’s share of his focus right now is getting ready for INTIX 2025. So, what is Aouad most looking forward to with regards to this year's show? “I’m most excited about Stay22 reconnecting with this incredible community and hearing firsthand from ticketing pros about their challenges and dreams. Also, let’s be real – the energy at INTIX is unmatched!”
