Join ACTE in Prague on 25-27 October 2009 for the ACTE Global Education Conference. This event is an opportunity for you to gather with the greatest minds in the global business travel industry and discuss the challenges and opportunities facing your organization. Learn what the most innovative travel managers are doing in the face of shrinking budgets to improve the ROI of their travel programmes during these challenging economic times. For more information, please visit the conference website.
The beginning of this year brings with it a new era in the worldwide economy, which includes travel management. There will be new opportunities to think “out of the box” to enhance customer service, technology and innovation, while also lowering costs. The economic crisis will drive the industry to think more about webinars, videoconferencing and teleconferencing as a complement to their air travel programs.
Finding the right balance between cost-cutting and the need to maintain travel as an essential, revenue-generating business function, and to increasingly view travel as an investment rather than a cost, is one of the tasks that corporate travel managers will be charged with this year.
ACTE provides the stage for this to happen through its many educational events, an archive of industry knowledge – ACTE Connect, online communities and advisory committees. Together, this collaborative network of buyers and suppliers account for some of the most imaginative and innovative solutions that have produced positive results for the business travel industry.
In 2009, ACTE will hold eight events in the Latin America region in the following cities: Mexico City and Monterrey, Mexico; San Jose, Costa Rica; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Sao Paulo and Rio, Brazil, and Miami, United States.
To view events taking place in your city in 2009, please visit the ACTE Education Calendar and check back often for updates and registration details. We also hope to see you at our Global Education Conferences in Washington, D.C. and Prague.
Curriculums will include innovative ways to develop new capabilities in fields ranging from data management and employee productivity, to cost-savings strategies and new technology.
Your involvement in ACTE counts, and I encourage you to be part of this dynamic dialogue to advance the region's industry and our profession.
