The end of the year is always a great time to reflect on our accomplishments while simultaneously looking forward to the new opportunities presented by a new year. In that spirit, I want to celebrate the last days of 2017 and hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season.
Throwback Thursday – GBTA, The Early Years
This August in San Diego, GBTA will host its 50th Annual Convention. We are excited to celebrate this milestone with all of you. Leading up to Convention, we will be featuring Throwback Thursday (#TBT) posts every week on the GBTA Blog sharing pieces of history from the annual Convention, the travel management industry and general travel history.
