Business Travel Professionals Working Together to Advance the IndustryInvest in your professional development and grow your global network of peers when you attend an ACTE education event. ACTE is dedicated to providing the business travel industry with professional growth through the constant identification of emerging issues, continuing education, training, and ongoing peer-to-peer networking. You will learn from the best—ACTE brings together leading experts and educators to provide topical and innovative educational programming to its membership. When you attend an hour-long Webcast Business travel executives need to understand current industry challenges-ACTE Webcasts are a series of lively, one-hour online discussions presented by leading industry and subject matter experts. Webcasts give executives a convenient and efficient view of hot issues, informing them of dynamic business travel trends, economic analyses, crisis management techniques and more. In response to members' recommendations for opportunities for small group interaction, ACTE launched an innovative program called PowerTalks that fuses the best elements of networking and education. PowerTalks provide ACTE members an opportunity for candid, small group discussion and off-the-record analyses of vital business issues with their peers. ACTE Executive Forums are half or one-day events held regularly throughout the world. Designed to be responsive to key issues affecting the travel industry, forums provide informed commentary from industry leaders and suggest marketplace solutions you can implement immediately. A typical forum will bring together 75-100 corporate travel managers and suppliers of corporate travel products and services. ACTE offers two internationally recognized global conferences per year, one in North America in late April or early May and one in Europe in October. In addition, ACTE holds four regional conferences per year, two in August in our Asia-Pacific and Latin America regions, and two in November in our Africa and Canada regions. Each global conference attracts over 1,000 business travel professionals from around the world and focuses on providing valuable education, peer-to-peer learning and, analysis of emerging industry trends. The Asia-Pacific and Canada Regional Conferences bring together over 300 business travel management buyers and suppliers to discuss the key trends and challenges unique to those regions.
