Wheels Up has been likened to the Uber of aviation travel. Their fleet of private jets are transforming how executives travel. Come learn how a new firm was able to secure the likes of Rickie Fowler and Serena Williams as its ambassadors, as well as sponsor the 2015 Triple Crown winner, American Pharoah.
Wheels Up has leveraged interesting concepts to differentiate themselves and this discussion will highlights some of the successes and ideas that didn't work so well.
