In these turbulent times, one fact that’s indisputable is that the travel industry is in the midst of vast changes in the how, why and who of business travel – and it all seems to be piling on all at once. Another fact not in dispute is the need for travel managers to be at the top of their game in technology, communications and people skills.
 
For buyers, it’s clear that managing all this change requires forward thinking and the ability to shape expectations across their organizations. It’s a road more easily traveled when friends and colleagues in the industry come alongside to share their vision and their experiences.
 
At the BTE T&E Summit, set for Sept. 11-13 in New York City, members of the BTE Think Tank are hosting an interactive session where buyers get to share their challenges and hot topics. This session is designed to collaborate on ideas and solutions for the things that keep buyers up at night. No scripted agenda, just organic conversation driven by buyers.
 
The Think Tank team of veteran travel managers represent travel programs that vary in size and complexity, providing a range of fresh perspectives and inspiration. Contributors to the Summit’s travel buyer Think Tank session include Jennifer Steinke, director of travel, meetings and fleet at Moderna, Rosemary Maloney, travel and expense manager for Alteryx, David Smith, travel and relocation manager at Amdocs Americas, and Mark Zeigler, senior travel manager at NetApp, Inc.
 
The BTE T&E Summit’s interactive, intimate, invitation-only format allows corporate travel decision makers to network, brainstorm and collaborate, reaping valuable insights and strategies to deal with today’s hot topics and disruptive challenges.
