strategic meeting summit europe, hybrid

Designed to unite corporate travel managers, procurement/ sourcing and senior level meeting executives and provide a platform for information sharing, the Strategic Meetings Summit series will give attendees insights and understanding of the policies, technologies, and management of a successful strategic meetings management program.  Through expert-led sessions and interactive discussions, attendees will receive actionable information to help them accelerate the development of an enterprise-wide meetings program and best practices to help increase visibility into meetings activity and risk across the entire organization of their company.

Travel and meeting management professionals will gather intelligence on industry developments and share best practice experiences, challenges and solutions with peers in an open forum. Each summit is one full-day and the buyer attendees are qualified and responsible for managing their company’s meetings program. The majority are from the local market city and surrounding cities and states representing small, midsize, large and Fortune 500 companies.

Expected buyer attendance for each city is New York – 60; Chicago – 60; San Francisco – 40; London – 50.

I really enjoyed the Strategic Meetings Summit – the quality of its speakers, discussed topics, interaction with the audience and perfect conference size. I look forward to attending the next one.

Global Travel Risk Summit Europe

Global Travel Risk Summit Europe

Brought to you by The BTN Group and HospitalityLawyer.com, the Global Travel Risk Summit Virtual Event educates corporate travel buyers, procurement professionals, human resources, legal, security and risk professionals on meeting duty of care obligations by executing safe and secure travel following the unprecedented travel constraints presented by the global pandemic.

Now more than ever, managing risk is just as important as managing cost and it’s increasingly important to anyone who manages travel as businesses return to the road.

The Global Travel Risk Summit is unique in that it departs from the traditional conference format and challenges participants to engage scenarios involving business travel risk management. The day will be filled with intensive virtual education via forums and roundtables on current travel policies, compliance and traveler safety now and as your business moves out of the COVID-19 pandemic, and real-world immersion sessions (pitting crisis management teams against travel disruptions such as: contagious disease outbreaks, weather disasters, civil unrest, hotel lockdown and active shooter scenarios).

Attendees will participate in forums, discussions and real-world immersion exercises focusing on key considerations for current travel policy development, compliance and traveler safety and wellness.

The convergence of all disciplines is crucial when a crisis occurs, which is why all corporate executives (corporate travel buyers, procurement professionals, human resources, legal and risk professionals) who are directly or indirectly responsible for the legality, safety or security of mobile people, data or property, should attend. Attendance is limited to buyers and supplier sponsors only.
