The primary challenge that arises from these options is that travelers choose them\, which means they are not staying within the confines of the corporate travel program. This booking “leakage” presents multiple gaps in an organization’s travel program\, including gaps in duty of care\, compliance oversight\, savings management\, and more. How did we get here\, what have we done to solve this challenge\, and what technologies have emerged to help bridge these gaps? Join us as Justin Morris from Traxo discusses the history\, challenges\, and potential solutions. \nEvent Speaker \nJustin Morris\, Director of Sales | Traxo
