SUMMARY:The Intrapreneurial Mindset: The New Superpower in Corporate Travel
DESCRIPTION:Chapter/Committee/Partner Name: Utah Chapter \nDescription: The corporate travel ecosystem is shifting fast and thriving in this dynamic environment requires more than just process management. It takes intrapreneurs: individuals who think and act like entrepreneurs within their organizations to drive change\, innovate smartly\, and deliver value. \nIn this 60-minute interactive workshop\, Greeley Koch introduces The Intrapreneurial Mindset. A framework empowering both corporate travel managers and their supplier partners to challenge the status quo and lead from within. \nThe session begins with a fast-paced introduction to the concept: \n· What it means to be an intrapreneur in today’s travel landscape \n· Why both buyers and suppliers need this mindset now more than ever \n· How intrapreneurs build stronger\, more strategic partnerships \nThen\, the room turns into a conversation: Participants are invited to share how they’ve embraced intrapreneurial thinking\, taken calculated risks\, and navigated change in their programs or offerings. Suppliers are engaged to talk about how they have supported travel managers who are intrapreneurial. Greeley facilitates the dialogue\, highlighting patterns\, success traits\, and transferable lessons. \nThis is not a lecture\, it’s an energizing exchange of real-world ideas and experiences designed to inspire action\, collaboration\, and forward momentum. \nEvent Speaker: Greeley Koch – Global Consulting Leader in Travel & Hospitality | Business Strategist Driving Revenue Growth & Customer Satisfaction | NYU Adjunct Professor \nLocation of Event:\nHilton Garden Inn – Lehi\n3150 N Hotel Loop\nLehi\, UT 84043 \nPrice:\n$0.00 MEMBER TICKET\n$15.00 after 11:45 pm March 9 \n$35.00 GUEST TICKET\n$50.00 after 11:45 pm March 9

DESCRIPTION:Like every industry\, corporate travel is rapidly evolving\, with AI accelerating innovation and reshaping how we work. At the same time\, our industry remains rooted in relationships\, trust\, and human connection. \nAs roles shift and the talent pipeline evolves\, the question becomes: how do we embrace new technology while continuing to develop the next generation of leaders? \nThis joint Education Day brings both perspectives together — from exploring AI-powered solutions\, including our Shark Tank–style showcase of online booking tools\, to redefining how we grow into more strategic and value-driven roles. \nThe future of corporate travel isn’t AI versus people — it’s people and AI\, working together to elevate our industry. \nGBTA Silicon Valley – Meeting_Event Information_Eday May 8 2026
