KEEP COMPANY WITH THE BEST MINDS IN THE BUSINESS TRAVEL INDUSTRY

Contingency Planning: What if….?
Register for another ACTE don't-want-to-miss event, the Executive Forum in Chicago, IL. The mettle of every corporate travel program was tested by the events of 9/11. Most reports indicate that travel departments and the managers/directors that lead them emerged as corporate heroes. In many cases the corporate travel department directed recovery and communication efforts or worked hand in hand with their counterparts in corporate safety and security.

The responses to the disasters of 9/11 from corporate travel departments were nothing less than stellar, but this is no time to sit on our laurels. Everyday presents the potential for a new "What if…" and planning for the unexpected must continue.

The Executive Forum in Chicago will address three present-day "What ifs…" and provide attendees with a range of practical responses to each of them.

Join your colleagues in another critical exchange of ideas:
