Under New Management: 2006 Business Travel Update

Calgary, AB
Sheraton Suites Calgary Eau Claire Hotel
February 23, 2006


This forum is appropriate for both the experienced professional and the newly appointed corporate travel manager.

This day has been carefully planned starting with airline, ground, hotel and travel management consultants sharing their expert knowledge including an interactive case study on ways to reduce T&E; expenses. Over lunch, you’ll hear about the first-ever ACTE/Deloitte report on the global talent crisis and the implications for the Canadian Corporate Travel Manager which is being released the same day.

After lunch, you are off to gain a better understanding of the effects a pandemic (you have heard experts say it's only a matter of time) would have on Calgary, businesses and travel. At 3:00 pm, you are ready to call it a day, and you head out with your colleagues for a couple of drinks to unwind…just another day at the office.
