About Captivate
Here is where AI Powers the Fastest Track to Customer Loyalty

With AI-first thinking at its core, Captivate 2026 explores how intelligence is rewriting the rules of loyalty through smarter engagement, deeper personalization, and measurable brand affinity. It is where global brands, innovators, and technology builders converge to define what’s next in the world of customer loyalty.
