"Countdown to the YEAR 2000"

The dilemma surrounding the "Y2K" debacle is gaining frantic attention as the next century quickly approaches. Knowledgeable experts from Airline, GDS and Travel Agency companies will help demystify the problem and answer the following questions: Just what is the problem? Who is it affecting and how? Who is solving the problem? What is the status of the solution? Should we be concerned? How will it affect the travel industry and what should we be doing to prepare? Please bring your questions for this interactive and fascinating session.

"Automating Your Travel Reservations from A to Z"

This session will cover the complete process of automating your travel reservations. Our panel of experienced corporate travel managers will walk you through their person experiences in the following essential areas:

Preparing Your Company and Your Travelers
Implementing Your Plan
Measuring Results

"Automating Your Expense Management Process from A to Z"

This session will offer valuable information for re-engineering expense management. Our panelists are all from the corporate environment representing three respective sectors; travel management, finance and systems integration. They will share their knowledge and expertise in the following areas:

Diagnosis and Evaluation
Solutions and Preparation
Implementation and Expectations

"TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE"

After the educational sessions are concluded, you will want to take advantage of ACTE's Technology Showcase, a unique forum in which you will have the opportunity to review today's state-of-the-art travel management software.
