For Immediate Release
RECORD NUMBERS EXPECTED FOR ACTE GLOBAL 1996
Registration Closed for Upcoming Conference in Madrid
Washington, DC -- The Association of
Corporate Travel Executives announced today that registration for its
upcoming conference in Madrid, ACTE Global 1996, has been closed due to
capacity limitations. The conference, September 8-10, has attracted more
than 375 business travel leaders from around the world, an increase of 150
participants over last year's conference held in Budapest.
"Obviously, we are thrilled with the incredible interest in ACTE Global
1996," commented Toby Joseph, Carlson Wagonlit Travel and Conference
Co-Chair. "Unfortunately, we are limited by the size of the hotel and
capacity of the off-site venues and, therefore, have to close
registration. ACTE's reputation for providing superb conferences with
strong educational and networking opportunities is evident by the
overwhelming response to ACTE Global."
The topics that will be covered at ACTE Global 1996 include procurement,
payment and reconciliation; new technologies, from smart cards to
agentless bookings; security on the Internet; outsourcing; and the global
RFP process. Keynote presentations will cover topics such as the future
of airline ticket distribution, worldwide marketing and branding and Asia
- the next business challenge.
The Association of Corporate Travel Executives is a non-profit
professional organization comprised of corporate practitioners of travel
management techniques and suppliers of business travel services. ACTE was
formed in 1987 expressly to educate, promote, protect and advance the
interests of its members as well as the interests of the corporate travel
industry as a whole.
