PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Navan (NASDAQ: NAVN), the global AI-powered business travel and expense management platform, celebrates its 11th anniversary this month and will launch its inaugural customer conference, Navigate26, on May 13 in New York City.

“Eleven years in, we remain hyper-focused on removing friction for travelers, finance teams, and businesses at scale,” said Michael Sindicich, President of Navan. “Navigate is the natural next step — a place for our customers and industry leaders to come together, share what’s working, and shape what comes next.”

Navigate26 will bring together travel, finance, and procurement leaders from leading companies around the world and across every sector, ranging from the Fortune 100 to high-growth, mid-size enterprises.

Agenda highlights include:

• State of T&E with Navan President Michael Sindicich: Get exclusive, data-driven insights into the trends driving T&E today, and what they mean for the rest of 2026 and beyond.
• AI keynote with Navan CTO Ilan Twig: Hear how AI is changing travel and expense today with Navan’s co-founder and CTO.
• Product roadmap updates: Learn how the Navan solution is evolving to meet today’s T&E challenges from Dane Molter, SVP, Navan Group Travel Marketplace, and Yuval Refua, Navan Chief Product Officer of Payments and Expense.
• Fireside chat with Navan CMO Erika White and Board Member Shai Weiss: Hear from the former CEO of Virgin Atlantic and the newest member of Navan’s Board about the future of travel and the impact of AI.
• Breakout sessions: Separate tracks for finance leaders and travel managers will offer a collaborative deep dive into today’s most exciting opportunities.

Founded by Ariel Cohen and Ilan Twig in 2015, Navan has spent the past 11 years helping companies modernize the way employees travel, spend, and manage expenses. From its early days as TripActions to its evolution into an AI-powered global T&E solution, Navan has continued to build around a simple goal: Make travel easy for every traveler by being the best travel agency on the planet.

Navan enters its next chapter as business travel continues to accelerate. The company estimates its addressable market at approximately $185 billion, and Navan’s proprietary Business Travel Benchmark report shows business travel growth of more than 41% over the past three years and more than 16% YoY in 2025 alone — outpacing consumer travel growth of 5.3% over the same three-year period and 0.1% YoY in 2025, as recorded by the TSA.
