Regaining Control of Travel Costs
Singapore
6 March 2008
Sheraton Towers Singapore
The entire region is bursting at its seams when it comes to demand for essential business travel services. This imbalance has driven up the cost of travel significantly across the board. Does this mean that cost control initiatives are meeting dead-end streets or are there still opportunities for corporations to regain the ever-increasing expense of travel. The forum presents two sessions that every corporate buyer needs to tune into.
Members of HSMAI and AmCham will enjoy a special member rate of USD29. please include a special code "HSMAIMEM" or "AMCHAMMEM" in the priority code box.
