Why Join GBTA
We believe business travel is a fundamental force for good. Meeting face to face deepens relationships, fosters collaboration, and develops culture in ways that technology alone can never truly replicate. It drives progress for businesses, governments, economies, and people. As the barriers and challenges facing business travel evolve and change, we must continue to innovate and set new standards as an industry, bringing many perspectives together under one roof. GBTA is the platform for all sides to come together to tackle how travel can adapt to and drive dynamic transformations in the workplace, from the changing way people work, to new attitudes towards managing risk, to improving sustainability.

“I’ll always be grateful for the window of opportunity I received while attending GBTA’s Convention in November 2021. I was overdue for a career change, and just days before the event, I came across a job posting at Southwest Airlines which appeared to be a perfect fit for my next growth opportunity. At the convention, I ran into a colleague who worked for Southwest, and they introduced me to some of Southwest Business’ Leaders. That simple introduction ultimately helped me land the job, and it’s made a profound impact on my life.”Josh Goldberg
Customer Success Consultant, Southwest® Business
