The Dawn of the Employee-Centric Travel Program?
2022-11-30 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual
11:00 am to 12:00pm Eastern Time
The primary goal of many managed travel programs is to limit cost. Recently, travel programs have paid greater attention to traveler satisfaction/well-being. In a tight labor market with low unemployment and rising salaries, an employee-centric travel program can help companies recruit and retain talent. Based on GBTA-Deem research, this session will examine the role of the user/traveler experience in managed corporate travel. How well do travel programs serve the needs of business travelers? Is traveler experience more important than other objectives such as cost savings? How do travel programs measure employee satisfaction? Do travel programs adequately accommodate employees with disabilities and special needs? What perks and policy changes do business travelers value most? Which booking technology features and innovations are travel managers and business travelers most interested in?

Michigan Chapter - December Holiday Event & Charity Auction
2022-12-01 - 2022-12-02
Charity Auction
Our 2022 Charity is Hope Against Trafficking.
When Hope Against Trafficking started, the founders realized that there was a lack of long-term, safe, restorative environments for adult survivors of human trafficking. The women who have been rescued or escaped their traffickers lack hope as they have no safe-haven, no financial stability, and fear for their lives.
Hope Against Trafficking provides a comprehensive and dedicated program. They have taken a two-pronged approach for the restoration of survivors and education for its community.
You can learn more at Hope Against Trafficking.
Please contact Gail Major at charities@gbtamichigan.org if you’re interested in donating an item for the charity auction and don’t forget your CASH (or plastic) the night of the event!
Thank you for your support of this year’s charity, Hope Against Trafficking!

South Florida Chapter - GBTA South Florida January Educational Forum: The Problems and Solutions to Corporate Travel Leakage
2023-01-10
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.

How AI can turn travel managers into rockstars
2023-01-25 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York)
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.
Join 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:
• Reduce costs and compliance risk, and even change employee spend behavior
• Retain institutional knowledge, regardless of FTE reductions
• Read invoice content and context like a person to improve the accuracy and speed of approvals
He’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.
