The Intrapreneurial Mindset: The New Superpower in Corporate Travel
2026-04-09 11:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Hilton Garden Inn – Lehi, 3150 N Hotel Loop, Lehi, UT, 84043, United States
Chapter/Committee/Partner Name: Utah Chapter
Description: 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.
In 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.
The session begins with a fast-paced introduction to the concept:
· What it means to be an intrapreneur in today’s travel landscape
· Why both buyers and suppliers need this mindset now more than ever
· How intrapreneurs build stronger, more strategic partnerships
Then, 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.
This is not a lecture, it’s an energizing exchange of real-world ideas and experiences designed to inspire action, collaboration, and forward momentum.
Event Speaker: Greeley Koch – Global Consulting Leader in Travel & Hospitality | Business Strategist Driving Revenue Growth & Customer Satisfaction | NYU Adjunct Professor

Cornerstone Government Affairs, public policy advisors supporting GBTA
Mike Jackson, Government Relations Leader, WERC
Nan Park (Moderator), Senior Vice President of Newland Chase/CIBT
What This Session Is — and Isn’t
This is not a partisan forum.
It is an educational discussion designed to:
Provide clarity on current regulatory and border developments affecting business travel and mobility
Share how GBTA, WERC and other industry associations engage constructively with policymakers
Explore how public and private stakeholders can improve transparency, efficiency, and traveler experience
Encourage cross-functional dialogue between travel, mobility, immigration, and government professionals
As a timely example, we will briefly touch on upcoming large-scale international events including the 2026 FIFA World Cup as one illustration of how global attention and elevated cross-border movement can test systems and require proactive planning. The broader focus, however, remains on long-term readiness and collaboration across our industry.
Why Attend
For corporate travel managers and global mobility leaders, this session offers practical insight into how regulatory environments evolve and how industry feedback is communicated.
For government and embassy professionals, it provides direct exposure to operational realities companies face when deploying global workforces.
For suppliers and TMC partners, it offers a strategic view of advocacy priorities and collaborative opportunities.
As the chapter based in Washington, DC, we are uniquely positioned to create thoughtful, respectful conversations that strengthen understanding across sectors.
Join peers from government, industry, and multinational organizations for a morning of insight, dialogue, and connection.
Seats are limited to encourage meaningful interaction. We look forward to welcoming you.
