SUMMARY:Los Angeles Chapter - The Problems and Solutions to Corporate Travel “Leakage” - GTP Credit Approved
DESCRIPTION: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. \nHow 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! \nEvent Speaker \nJustin Morris\, Director of Sales | Traxo \nLocation of Event \nRedondo Beach\, CA \nVenue Information  \nThe Portofino Hotel & Marina\n260 Portofino Way\, Redondo Beach\, CA 90277\nFree Parking \nPricing and Registration \n$85.00 Member Ticket\n$115.00 Guest Ticket\n$20 late fee after 10:00 am February 6
