SUMMARY:Puget Sound Chapter - May General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Selecting the right Travel Management Company (TMC) is one of the most important decision travel buyers make for their travel program.

Come prepared to learn pragmatic strategies to improve your decision making and sourcing (and even sales) skills\, and see why a recent attendee to this presentation had this to say: “Truly the most informative talk I have heard in a while. Bryan is a very engaging speaker with a talent for making complicated ideas very digestible. \nEvent Speaker \nBryan Holmes Bio \nBryan Holmes is the founder and CEO of Bid Logic Solutions Inc.\, a technology and business travel consulting firm singularly focused on TMC Sourcing.

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

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
