MCP Connect - Reinventing Travel in the AI Era with Evaneos, Alpic & Jinko

Travel is one of the most complex, fragmented consumer experiences on the internet, which makes it one of the most interesting industries to watch as AI agents get good at taking action. This edition of MCP Connect looks at what that shift looks like, with three teams building at the intersection of travel and AI, from curated experiences to flight booking infrastructure. Agenda 6:30 PM - Welcome Doors open, perfect to meet fellow guests! 7:00 PM - Talks Hear from: Antoine Lépée, Engineering Manager at EvaneosThe living context of a tailor-made trip Bringing AI into a complex, legacy-rich product like custom travel is a technical and operational challenge. This talk explores why getting the right context to the right place at the right moment is the hardest (and most critical) part of the transformation. Pierre-Louis Theron, CEO & Co-Founder of AlpicFrom twelve tabs to one prompt, booking trips in the AI era Travel runs on dozens of overlapping systems: search, availability, pricing, booking, itineraries. MCP gives agents a structured way into all of it. We explore how MCP Apps are changing the experience of planning and booking trips, what that looks like in production, and where the interface is headed. Kevin Gauthier, Co-CEO & Co-founder of JinkoMCP - The missing piece to start selling travel within minutes MCP removes the complexity of travel AI integrations. With a single connection, any agent can access the full toolkit needed to sell travel, from search and booking to post booking support. This creates a new distribution layer for travel, making it possible to sell through many more channels, from general purpose AI assistants to specialized travel agents. 8:00 PM - Networking
