Surviving and Thriving Amidst Change
The Latin American business travel market has realized a number of
successive changes to the environment that took other regions years
to get a handle on. As some of these trends seem to be flowing from
the north, Brazil has a unique advantage--to learn from the experience
of these others how to survive and thrive during this intense period
of change.

Managing the Changing Economics of Business Travel
As vendor commissions are slashed and eliminated, new compensation schemes
are emerging. How do you convince your company that a service they
previously received free is now going to cost? How do you and your
agency partner decide on appropriate compensation? Is there an upside
to paying for service for the corporation? These and other aspects of
changing compensation will be discussed with industry veterans.

William DeCanio, Manager - Regional Sales & Marketing, Latin America, United Airlines
