Coming Soon

Calgary
TBD September 2009

Thank you for your interest in the ACTE PowerTalk in Calgary. We look forward to your attendance at this luncheon event designed to respond to the key issues affecting the business travel industry.

Driving the global business travel industry in 2009 will be the need to economize and optimize travel spend to find savings opportunities for the corporation. As belt-tightening takes hold in the industry, ACTE educational events promise to reveal the strategies and initiatives from programs that are successfully meeting the challenge to reduce travel spend and showcase their results. Among topics the 2009 Forum and PowerTalk events will examine include:

• Spend categories that offer the best savings opportunities through sourcing
• Synergies to be realized through integrating meetings and transient travel programs
• The perfect storm for policy tightening and better compliance
• Optimizing technology for savings and service
• Demand management & supplier management
• Managing the pennies—finding savings in incidental travel spend
• The "last mile" of consolidation
• Less managed may = reduced spend

Regardless of the topic ACTE local education events guarantee you will leave the program with learning that can be put to use immediately and derive benefits for you and your company.

In response to members' recommendations for opportunities for small group interaction, ACTE PowerTalks fuse the best elements of networking and education. PowerTalks provide senior-level corporate travel executives an opportunity for candid, small group discussion and off-the-record analyses of vital business issues with their peers.
