SUMMARY:South Florida Chapter - GBTA South Florida January Educational Forum: The Problems and Solutions to Corporate Travel Leakage
DESCRIPTION:Ever since technology was introduced into the corporate travel landscape\, the ability for travelers to have a plethora of options in their bookings has led to multiple challenges for both corporate travel suppliers and managers. 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 \nLocation of Event \nWest Palm Beach\, FL \nVenue Information \nHilton West Palm Beach\n600 Okeechobee Blvd\nWest Palm Beach\, FL 33401\nDiscounted Parking: $15 \nPricing and Registration \nGBTA South Florida and All Access Members= $50.00\nNon-Members= $9000

SUMMARY:How AI can turn travel managers into rockstars
DESCRIPTION:With so many eyes on every dollar spent\, T&E is once again on the front lines of organizational spend reductions. But if you’re not auditing and analyzing 100% of your expenses\, how will you know where to make adjustments without affecting your carefully crafted travel program? AI-driven expense auditing can be a valuable partner to travel managers\, helping you to save time\, reduce workloads\, identify potential errors and fraud\, and ensure compliance with company policies. It gives you the perfect opportunity to look like a rockstar\, making policy changes based on accurate\, near-real-time data. \nJoin this session with AppZen to learn what AI is (and what it isn’t) and how AI-driven expense auditing saves you time and money\, and reduces errors. Saman Khatami\, AppZen’s Director of Product Marketing\, will show you how AI can: \n• Reduce costs and compliance risk\, and even change employee spend behavior\n• Retain institutional knowledge\, regardless of FTE reductions\n• Read invoice content and context like a person to improve the accuracy and speed of approvals \nHe’ll also share some of the strangest expense behaviors AI has caught for his clients. And he’ll share best practice tips for customizing policies and audit rules\, helpful for both new and seasoned Travel Managers alike. Check out this webinar and enshrine your rockstar status. \nSpeakers:  \n\nSaman Khatami\nDirector of Product Marketing\nAppZen \nStart Date and Time: 1/25/2023 11:00am ET\nEnd Date and Time: 1/25/2023 12:00pm ET \nLocation:  \nVirtual\nVenue Information: N/A \nSponsor Information:  \nMade Possible by\n \nGTP Re-Certification Credits: N/A\nPricing & RSVP: Complimentary
