To celebrate our upcoming 50th anniversary of GBTA Convention, today’s Throwback Thursday blog post takes a look at our association and the business travel industry through the 1990s.

Looking back on the nineties, a few things come to mind: wearing slap bracelets and block-heeled shoes, religiously watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and even handpicking VHS tapes at Blockbuster – the ‘90s were truly a glorious time.
In honor of our 50th anniversary of Convention, we’re sharing a few photos from the ‘60s and ‘70s, during which GBTA was initially founded as the National Passenger Traffic Association (NPTA) in 1968.
We kicked off our Throwback Thursday (#TBT) posts celebrating the upcoming 50th Anniversary of GBTA Convention with a post on the very beginnings of GBTA – or NPTA as it was known then. Today we learn more about the Association’s past and what NPTA looked like throughout the 1970s.
In 2008, GBTA – then known as the National Business Travel Association (NBTA) – teamed up with The New Yorker to show off the lighter side of business travel.
In honor of GBTA Convention’s 50th anniversary, we take a look at the myriad event themes throughout the years.
