Discover the Business Travel Show’s Fundamentals conference programme

These are challenging times for the travel industry. According to a recent survey by Business Travel Show Europe, more than half of business travel budgets are expected to be slashed by up to 50% over the next 12 months. But as quarantine restrictions are lifted and the number of amber and green countries continues to grow, business travel is becoming more of a possibility.

With so much changing – often on a daily basis – it can be tricky to know where to start, which is where Business Travel Show Europe’s Fundamentals conference programme comes into play. With 10 free sessions across two days, it’s designed specifically to help PAs, EAs and office managers to book business travel with confidence, save time and money, and maximise ROI.

The sessions will explain how to:

• Get started in travel management
• Use corporate payments to save more, be more efficient and access more data
• Choose a travel management company and other partners
• Use data to save money and have more control over travellers and suppliers
• Negotiate the best deals with suppliers
• Choose online booking and expense management technology
• Keep your travellers safe and secure
• Create a travel programme that maximises compliance and keeps travellers happy
• Engage travellers and other stakeholders in your programme
• Take the first step to managing your meetings spend

“When booking business travel isn’t your full-time job, it can be a minefield to navigate, especially post-Covid, but with the right guidance you can quickly start cutting costs, getting better deals and keeping your travellers safe, secure and happy,” said Jen Bankard, Senior Director of Content Solutions and Conferences, The BTN Group.

Business Travel Show Europe takes place at ExCeL London on 30 September & 1 October with supplementary online content and networking. PAs can register for free at https://www.businesstravelshow.com/register
