Bay Area Chapter - TMC Sourcing 2.0 and Critical Thinking
2023-02-16
Selecting the right Travel Management Company (TMC) is the most important decision travel buyers make for their travel program. However, today’s process for sourcing TMC’s is out-of-date, inefficient, and frequently falls short of expectations.
Join Bryan Holmes, Founder of Bid Logic Solutions, as he presents TMC Sourcing 2.0. In this presentation Bryan brings in critical thinking to the sourcing process, while taking you on an insightful journey from TMC Sourcing 1.0, where the TMC’s people are center stage, to TMC Sourcing 2.0, where the TMC’s technology is center stage—yet people still infinitely matter.
This presentation is critical to both buyers and sellers alike. Come prepared to improve your decision making skills and learn concrete things you can do to add more value to the sourcing process, whether you’re the buyer or the seller.

Los Angeles Chapter - The Problems and Solutions to Corporate Travel “Leakage” - GTP Credit Approved
2023-02-08
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? Our guest speaker, Justin Morris from Traxo, will answer these questions and more!
