SUMMARY:Puget Sound Chapter - May General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Selecting the right Travel Management Company (TMC) is one of the most important decision travel buyers make for their travel program.

Come prepared to learn pragmatic strategies to improve your decision making and sourcing (and even sales) skills\, and see why a recent attendee to this presentation had this to say: “Truly the most informative talk I have heard in a while. Bryan is a very engaging speaker with a talent for making complicated ideas very digestible. \nEvent Speaker \nBryan Holmes Bio \nBryan Holmes is the founder and CEO of Bid Logic Solutions Inc.\, a technology and business travel consulting firm singularly focused on TMC Sourcing.
