DIF Hospitality & Travel SIG Webinar: Google’s Lucyna Janas to Present on the Future of Digital Wallets in Hospitality & Travel

The Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) is pleased to announce the next session of its Hospitality & Travel Special Interest Group (SIG) — a bi-weekly forum bringing together innovators shaping the future of identity, access, and payments in travel and hospitality. The upcoming meeting will take place Thursday, October 23, 2025, at 10:00 ET / 15:00 GMT / 16:00 CET, and will feature a special presentation by Lucyna Janas, Head of Google Wallet Partnerships, EMEA.

As the leader of Google’s payment and non-payment Wallet partnerships team across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Lucyna oversees collaborations with financial institutions, merchants, loyalty platforms, airlines, transit operators, physical access providers, and many more.

Google’s active participation in the Open Wallet Foundation and OpenID Foundation highlights its dedication to open standards and cross-industry collaboration in the digital wallet ecosystem.

In this session, Lucyna will explore the growing opportunities for Google Wallet within the hospitality and travel sectors—from payments, physical access, and transit passes to ticketing, loyalty, digital IDs, employee credentials, and even health credentials. Attendees can expect valuable insights into what’s available today and a glimpse into what may be coming next.
