The big idea: travel and the law of attraction
November 9 | 3:00 pm

Taking care of business means taking care of talent. But talent is hard to come by, and even harder to attract when an industry loses its lustre. How do we make travel sexy again? How do we make it a reason people want to work and travel for an organisation, or indeed join the industry itself?

This year’s Big Idea will address this existential issue – shifting the perception of travel to the benefit of corporates, travellers and our entire industry.

How to boost travel policy compliance through digital marketing

Kelly Ellis
Global Traveler Engagement Practice Lead, Advito

Achieve Your Travel Program Goals With Digital Marketing          November 10 | 9:00 am
Twenty years ago, choosing travel was simple – you called your TMC. In the digital age, choices are limitless. Business travelers are just like any other digitally savvy consumer, and if you don’t use the same marketing tactics that they are used to seeing outside of your program to influence their decisions, you’ll lose them to other channels. In this session, we’ll talk about marketing strategies you can use to influence your travelers’ buying behaviors and build a future-fit traveler engagement strategy.

Sustainability vs DEI – Equally important or does it have its own platform in your organization
November 10 | 9:00 am

In our world where Sustainability, Planet and People are key topics in both our work and social life; we all have a position or agenda when it comes to how to make change and also bring about change. Shelley Fletcher-Bryant will be joining this panel to discuss how Advito and BCD approach sustainability and DE&I within the company.

Be more strategic: morphing your TRM program to support all your people
November 10 | 9:00 am

Most organizations have implemented a Travel Risk Management (TRM) program over the years. These programs have enabled companies to prepare, communicate, assess and assist all travellers, both business and leisure. While the pandemic resulted in ‘Low to No’ travel, this is changing as people begin to undertake business travel again. Learn from a Buyer, a TMC and an Expert on how to use your current TRM procedures and tools to create a People Risk Management (PRM) program for your organization. Protect the organization’s #1 asset – your People.
