SUMMARY:Travel Risk Management (TRM) in a Post-COVID World: Best Practices\, Policies\, and the Travel Manager’s Role
DESCRIPTION:Even as the COVID-19 pandemic has ended\, Travel Risk Management (TRM) remains a priority in the business travel industry. This webinar combines GBTA research results with commentary from a TRM expert\, Ray Rackham\, SVP\, Thought Leadership\, Advocacy & Public Policy from CIBT. Based on a survey of travel managers worldwide\, it addresses several topics including: \n-Post-COVID change: Is TRM a greater priority post-COVID? Are companies investing more money in TRM? Are internal staff spending more time working on TRM? \n-Travel program involvement: Which internal department typically “owns” the TRM program? How often do travel programs “own” various TRM functions including overall strategy\, communication\, pre-trip approvals\, vendor management\, and incident response? \n-Best practices: How often do companies follow TRM best practices? Examples include analyzing the company’s “risk profile\,” reviewing the program at regular intervals\, having in place clearly defined communication protocols\, and practicing incident response. \nSpeakers: \n\nRay Rackham\nSVP\, Thought Leadership\, Advocacy & Public Policy at CIBT \n\nMark Sharoff\nSenior Manager of Research at GBTA \nBased on GBTA research sponsored by

SUMMARY:2023 Global Business Travel Index™️ (BTI): What’s In Store for Global Business Travel
DESCRIPTION:For the past 15 years\, the BTI has been a signature GBTA research study. It is a critical industry planning tool and benchmark that provides an exhaustive study of business travel spending and growth covering 72 countries across 42 industries and provides a five-year forward-looking forecast. It provides demand-side measurements of all types of business trips and all spending\, including airfare\, hotel\, dining\, car rental\, train travel\, incidental purchases\, taxi/ride sharing\, etc.  This session examines key topics including how business travel is recovering from the pandemic\, when we expect to see full recovery and what it will look like considering inflation\, labor shortages\, supply chain bottlenecks\, global political conflict and rising interest rates.  New this year\, GBTA surveyed over 4\,000 business travelers around the world about their spending on business travel\, average length of trip\, booking behavior\, frequency of business travel and payments\, among other areas. \nJoin us for a look at the state of the industry and perspectives from business travelers around the globe. \nMade possible by \n \nSpeakers:\n \n\nJon Gray\nPrincipal\, Rockport Analytics \n\nEdward Galvin\nVice President and Head of North America B2B Payments Sales\, Visa

SUMMARY:Global Business Travel Forecast 2024: evoluzione del mercato e spunti per affrontarlo al meglio
DESCRIPTION:L’aumento dei prezzi del carburante\, la carenza di manodopera e le sfide della supply chain\, insieme alla forte domanda\, hanno portato ad un incremento generalizzato dei prezzi dei viaggi. Si prevede che la persistente incertezza economica e un graduale allentamento dei vincoli dal lato dell’offerta si tradurranno in aumenti dei prezzi\, anche se più moderati\, anche nei prossimi 12 mesi. \nQual è la strategia migliore per affrontare questo mercato? \nDurante il Webinar del 30 novembre analizzeremo i tratti salienti del “2024 Global Business Travel Forecast” realizzato da CWT e GBTA e con il supporto di Travel Manager e Travel Buyer condivideremo spunti utili per affrontare al meglio l’evoluzione del mercato. \nL’evento è possibile grazie agli Annual Partner di GBTA Italia:\n                    \nRegistrati qua

SUMMARY:Mitigating 2024 Corporate Hotel Rate Increases via Segment Convergence
DESCRIPTION:Timezone:\n11:00AM EDT \nLast year\, travel programs faced challenging hotel procurement scenarios – and 2023/24 promises to be no different. To mitigate rate increases and drive more symmetry and transparency in hotel relationships\, more buyers are using a convergence approach to hotel procurement. More programs are negotiating with hotels for multiple products\, segments and services (e.g.\, room nights\, meeting space\, room blocks\, or extended stay) at the same time to truly showcase their cumulative value. As per GBTA and HRS research issued this summer\, most travel managers (54 percent) think their company would achieve greater process or savings efficiencies via convergence\, while only one in 10 say they would not. \nThis webinar will feature timely commentary from a respected travel program leader and a prominent hotelier\, as well as fresh updates regarding negotiating trends for 2024 as the fourth quarter is underway. Join this engaging session to learn more about how your company can use convergence tactics to drive notable gains in data transparency\, process efficiencies\, and savings across your key segments. \nModerator: \n\nWill Pinnell\, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of the Americas at HRS Group \nPanelists: \n\nMakiko Barrett\, Senior Director\, Procurement and Travel at Automation Anywhere \n\nShawn Parker\, Executive Director\, Strategic Accounts & Corporate Group Sales at Hilton Hotels & Resorts \nBased on GBTA research sponsored by HRS Group

SUMMARY:The Life and Times of a Travel Manager: Career Reflections and the Evolving Role
DESCRIPTION:Date: June 21\, 2023 – 11am ET \nThe COVID-19 pandemic underscored the vital role of the corporate travel manager. While company leaders and stakeholders gained newfound appreciation for travel managers\, there has been little examination or reflection about who travel managers are and how they themselves view their role.\nBased on GBTA-Cvent research conducted in North America and Europe\, this webinar will examine how travel managers feel about their role. It will examine a number of key topics including: \n\nCompensation: How much compensation do travel managers earn? Do travel managers expect to receive a significant raise this year?\nDemographics: What percentage of travel managers are women? What percentage are underrepresented racial or ethnic minorities? How did travel managers enter the field? How many have previously worked for travel suppliers?\nCareer reflections: Are travel managers happy with their career? Would they recommend becoming a travel manager? Do they find their work engaging? If they could go back in time\, would they still become a travel manager – or pursue a different path?\nHow travel programs are structured – and how this shapes the travel manager’s role: How many travel managers spend all of their time on travel-related issues – and how many have additional responsibilities beyond travel? Are travel managers “jack-of-all trades” who work on a variety of issues—such as hotel RFPs\, travel policy design\, and implementing technology. Or\, do they specialize in specific areas?\n\nSpeakers: \nKelli Kopec\, Senior Manager\, Product\, Cvent \nCarol Fergus\, Global Travel Manager\, Fidelity International \nMark Sharoff\, Research Manager\, GBTA \nMade Possible by

SUMMARY:Webinar - CO2 emissions display in the OBTs: Is the information good enough?
DESCRIPTION:Time:\n19 Apr 2023 14:00 CET 13:00 GMT \nFor a long time\, OBTs have used generic methodologies to calculate CO2 emissions at point of sale. While they allow to estimate the level of CO2 emissions\, these methodologies do not allow travelers to accurately compare several airlines on a same route\, and make educated choices on the greenest airline to use. At the same time\, travel buyers and travel managers improve the quality of the reporting to report on air CO emissions in a more granular way\, using different methodologies. Where do the key market leading OBTs stand today in terms of CO2 emissions display\, and what are they working on in terms of roadmap? Are there other solutions available today to nudge the travelers to greener behaviors\, thanks to improved information? Join us in this educational session where sustainability meets technology to build a greener program! \nModerators: \n\nAurélie Duprez\, Areka Consulting\nOlivier Benoit\, Advito\n\nSpeakers: \n\nSylvain Muller\, SAP Concur\nSarah Benarey\, eco.mio\nDaniel Senyard\, Shep\nOlivier Girault\, Amadeus\nColleen Black\, Tripkicks\nNina Birger\, chooose\nAlistair Leaman\, KDS\nBrett Dowling\, Sabre
