As the CEO of Garner\, he guides corporate travel managers\, travel technology companies\, travel sellers\, and airlines through the complexities of airline distribution. During his 20-year tenure at American Airlines\, Cory led strategies for distribution\, travel agency incentives\, and corporate customer programs\, driving technological advancements as a co-founder of the NDC trend. Cory is widely quoted in mainstream and trade media\, has twice been chosen by readers of The Beat to headline their annual conference\, is one of LinkedIn’s most-followed personalities in his subject matter area\, and hosts his own conference\, making him one of the most influential voices in corporate travel. \nWhat to expect from this session:\nAn in-depth review about today’s travel landscape and the distribution channels that are shifting with the rise of IATA’s New Distribution Capability (NDC). Traditionally reliant on Global Distribution Systems (GDSs)\, airlines are now increasingly using NDC to connect directly with travel agencies and buyers. This enables more dynamic pricing\, personalized offers\, and richer content that GDSs can’t always support. As a result\, the landscape is becoming more fragmented\, with a mix of traditional and NDC-enabled channels. Travel managers must now navigate this hybrid environment to ensure access to the best content while maintaining efficiency\, compliance\, and traveler support. \nSession #2\nGlobal Safety & Security in Business Travel – Moderated by Kevin Coffey\, https://www.kevincoffey.com \nAbout Kevin Coffey: Detective Kevin Coffey is an internationally known safety expert\, who helps organizations keep their employees traveling safe and smart.

Kevin’s media appearances include: The Oprah Winfrey Show\, 20/20\, The Travel Channel\, NBC\, CNN and he has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal\, USA Today\, INC\, Los Angeles Times\, plus many more publications and broadcasts. \nHis message resonates with travel industry associations\, top corporations\, and US government agencies including the FBI. \nHis first-hand crime experience with his assignment of investigating airport and travel related crime gave him insight as to how travelers are victimized and more importantly how to avoid it. He now shares this information in a series of risk reduction and response presentations for the public\, as well as the travel\, meeting\, and hospitality industries. \nWhat to expect from this session:\nJoin LABTA for a compelling and timely program focused on Global Safety and Security in business travel. As organizations continue to expand globally\, staying ahead of evolving risks and compliance requirements is more important than ever. \nGlobal travel risk management and emergency response\nImmigration compliance and regulatory updates\nBest practices for duty of care and protecting mobile employees \nFrom geopolitical disruptions to technological innovation\, our panel will provide critical takeaways to help you build a safer\, more resilient travel program.
