Program

Meetings Consolidation: The Next Frontier in Travel Management

Most companies spend the equivalent of their entire corporate travel budget on meetings and events--and don't even know it. Tracking group travel expenditures is tough, because meetings are rarely purchased through a centralized entity, and meeting-related costs are often hidden in departmental budgets. Planning meetings by using the same purchasing disciplines as corporate travel procurement can help companies save 13-30% right off the bat--and may introduce interesting synergies for the purchase of transient business as well. In this session, you'll gain valuable insights on:

Similarities and differences between the purchasing of group and individual corporate travel
Best practices in meeting purchasing
How to handle areas of management resistance--and why they occur in the first place
Promoting a new way to plan meetings
Pros and cons of putting meeting planning under the corporate travel department's purview
