SUMMARY:The Intrapreneurial Mindset: The New Superpower in Corporate Travel
DESCRIPTION:Chapter/Committee/Partner Name: Utah Chapter \nDescription: The corporate travel ecosystem is shifting fast and thriving in this dynamic environment requires more than just process management. It takes intrapreneurs: individuals who think and act like entrepreneurs within their organizations to drive change\, innovate smartly\, and deliver value. \nIn this 60-minute interactive workshop\, Greeley Koch introduces The Intrapreneurial Mindset. A framework empowering both corporate travel managers and their supplier partners to challenge the status quo and lead from within. \nThe session begins with a fast-paced introduction to the concept: \n· What it means to be an intrapreneur in today’s travel landscape \n· Why both buyers and suppliers need this mindset now more than ever \n· How intrapreneurs build stronger\, more strategic partnerships \nThen\, the room turns into a conversation: Participants are invited to share how they’ve embraced intrapreneurial thinking\, taken calculated risks\, and navigated change in their programs or offerings. Suppliers are engaged to talk about how they have supported travel managers who are intrapreneurial. Greeley facilitates the dialogue\, highlighting patterns\, success traits\, and transferable lessons. \nThis is not a lecture\, it’s an energizing exchange of real-world ideas and experiences designed to inspire action\, collaboration\, and forward momentum. \nEvent Speaker: Greeley Koch – Global Consulting Leader in Travel & Hospitality | Business Strategist Driving Revenue Growth & Customer Satisfaction | NYU Adjunct Professor \nLocation of Event:\nHilton Garden Inn – Lehi\n3150 N Hotel Loop\nLehi\, UT 84043 \nPrice:\n$0.00 MEMBER TICKET\n$15.00 after 11:45 pm March 9 \n$35.00 GUEST TICKET\n$50.00 after 11:45 pm March 9

SUMMARY:The State of Corporate Travel Policies: What a Modern Policy Looks Like in the U.S. and Canada
DESCRIPTION:In business travel\, there is nothing more universal than a corporate travel policy. Based on GBTA research\, this webinar will discuss the current state of corporate travel policies. Topics include: \n1. Travel policy evolution: How are travel policies changing? Are policies becoming stricter or more lenient over time? How long is a typical travel policy? How can AI help educate employees about travel policies?\n2. Risk management: Why is a well-designed travel policy important to keep employees safe? What risk-related considerations are important when designing a corporate travel policy?\n3. Air travel: How often is business class allowed? In which scenarios is it allowed? How often are employees allowed to purchase various air-related add-ons and amenities—such as seat selection and early boarding—at company expense? Do travel programs have “lowest logical fare” (LLF) and “advance purchase” policies?\n4. Meals: Do travel policies outline per diems or spending limits for employee meals?\nDo companies set their own meal rates – or use a government benchmark?\n5. How do travel policies address hotel stays? Do they outline per diems or spending limits – or do they advise employees to purchase “reasonably” or “moderately” priced accommodations? \nSpeaker Info: \n\nDr John Rose\nChief Risk Advisor\nALTOUR \n\nMichael J.
