Leave Your Mark on the Industry
In 2017, over 160 industry speakers presented informative and engaging education sessions at Convention, ranging from the evolution of technology in travel programs to balancing traveler satisfaction with program compliance.
The Need for Automation in Travel
Artificial intelligence has become top of mind for the travel industry, with many companies exploring the possibilities of AI-powered processes, workflows and communication. At GBTA Convention 2017, our all-new Innovation Row showcased a variety of startup technologies capitalizing on AI to alter the travel experience.
