PechaKucha – ever heard of it?

The Japanese introduced this term to us and it’s catching on in a big way.  In a nutshell, PechaKucha is a presentation style in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each (6 minutes and 40 seconds in total).  The format, which keeps presentations concise and fast paced, enables multiple-speaker presentations at events and that is just what we want to offer our suppliers for our future meetings.  It takes a bit of prep and fair amount of skill but the overall impression and take-aways are far more memorable.

The Complete Guide to Improving Hotel Programs in 2019

Travel program goals can be difficult to reach when travel buyers and business travelers are not on the same page, and many travel buyers are at a loss with how to leverage cost savings, compliance, and satisfaction with traveler behavior. Building on 2018 research from GBTA and RoomIt, this webinar aims to help you understand what gaps might exist between your hotel policy and traveler behavior, and how to leverage these seemingly opposing forces to achieve program goals.

Travel Management: Past, Present, and Future

How are travel programmes organised today? How do they approach duty of care? Which functions do they handle internally, and which do they outsource? Join us as we present results from GBTA’s Managed Travel Index (MTI).
