Developing next-gen traveler profiles – systems, services and security requirements for the journey aheadWednesday, Feb. 26 at 2:30 p.m. Heather Wright, Vice President of Global Product Marketing at BCD Travel, joins a panel to discuss dynamic traveler profiles and what challenges that poses for data privacy – one of the most important topics for today’s travel manager. |
Conscious travel is a major theme of the show. Sustainability has newfound urgency for corporate travel programs, but most won’t have to start from scratch. Programs can simply apply more strategic rigor to tactics they’re already using or exploring, advises BCD’s Tony McGetrick, who’ll be on-site at the Olympia London. Via the BTS blog, he proposes three ways corporate programs can jump-start sustainability.

- Discover ways to cut costs while keeping travelers happy
