Twelfth Corporate Travel & Expense Management Forum
London, United Kingdom
24 April 2007 - 24 April 2007
London Hesperia - Victoria Hotel
Does keeping the travel spend within budget for your organisation or company fall within your area of responsibility? - Then read on because this may well prove to be of interest and value to you and your employers.
Are you faced with a balancing act of trying to keep your travellers happy whilst keeping your spend down?
Do you ever wish that you could speak to people in the same situation as your self in order to "talk out" these problems? Management Solutions (UK) Limited have been addressing these points through our Corporate Travel & Expense Management Forums which are designed to enable travel buyers and finance managers to quiz specialists and the opportunity to network with their peers.
Senior travel Industry officials provide their expertise during the 75 minute panel sessions and many choose to spend the entire day at the event allowing them to mingle with their peers and their customers – all of which is beneficial to all parties.
