Session #1 – Cracking the Code: Hotel Revenue Management & Corporate Travel
Hotel pricing can often feel like a mystery—but it doesn’t have to be. This session will pull back the curtain on hotel revenue management (RM) and help you understand the key strategies hotels use to maximize revenue and manage demand. As a corporate travel buyer, understanding these tactics is critical to designing a travel program that’s cost-effective, competitive, and compliant. From blackout dates and dynamic pricing to the availability of your negotiated rates, RM practices can have a direct and lasting impact on your travelers and your budget. Join us as we explore:
• What revenue management is and why it matters to hotels
• How hotel RM strategies affect rate availability, pricing, and your sourcing outcomes
• The difference between static and dynamic pricing—and when to use each
• Practical strategies to align your travel program with hotel RM models
• Questions you should be asking suppliers during sourcing and beyond Whether you’re managing a global program or looking to optimize a few key markets, this session will give you the tools and insights to build more resilient, RM-aligned supplier relationships and smarter hotel strategies.
11:45pm – 12:30pm
Session #2 – Elevating Industry Professionals How travel managers are shifting from logistics coordinators to strategic business partners.
As organizations adapt to new ways of working, navigate uncertain economies, and continue to deal with the fallout of corporate travel of the last five years, the role of the travel manager is undergoing a transformation, from operational support to strategic business advisor. We can explore how travel professionals can elevate their position within an organization by aligning travel programs with corporate objectives, influencing executive decision-making, and leveraging data for measurable impact. Learn how to shift the conversation from bookings and budgets to outcomes and value and walk away with practical strategies to position them as a key stakeholder in business continuity, employee experience, and sustainability.
