Expedia Group has been in the online travel game for over 25 years—and with success came complexity. After growing through acquisitions and expanding a portfolio of travel brands, they faced a big challenge: how do you deliver a seamless traveler experience when your tech stacks are anything but?

You’ll hear how their Experience API evolved from a proof-of-value experiment into the backbone powering every customer-facing app and site at Expedia Group. Plus, get a rare peek inside their “Shared UI” micro frontend system and learn how it supports their server-driven UI architecture at scale.
