Tuesday & Wednesday, April 19th & 20th, The ISM And GBTA Travel & Meetings Summit 2011 will be happening in New Orleans.
The Institute for Supply Management and the Global Business Travel Association are teaming up with Procurement Travel to present the summit which is meant to aid senior procurement and supply management professionals who are responsible for their companies’ business travel budgets.
The summit will feature tools and strategies to optimize spending on travel and meetings, the newest insights in the business travel market, and ideas on how to align procurement with your company’s overall business performance. New to the summit this year: a full day pre-summit workshop that is complimentary for all attendees and several breakout sessions allowing attendees to customize their summit educational experience.
The largest supply management institute in the world is ISM and GBTA is known as the world’s largest organization for business travel and corporate meetings; GBTA even pioneered the idea of Strategic Meetings Management. If you are in charge of your company’s travel budget, a senior travel/meetings manager, a senior purchasing manager who oversees travel/meetings functions, or a supplier who provides travel-related services and wants to better understand the decision-making process of procurement organizations, this summit is something you will not want to miss out on.
If you have not already done so, you can register online now; and with PC Housing’s several New Orleans furnished apartments to choose from, you can rest assured knowing your corporate housing suite will be as comfortable and familiar as your “home away from home”.
