ACTE to host Middle East Launch Event in April 2007

-- ACTE is expanding our education programme into the Middle East in 2007 and is delighted to announce that our first Launch Event will be taking place at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai on 2 April 2007.

This event will be the start of many more Executive Forums taking place in the Region and it is our mission to work alongside the local corporate travel community to incorporate this region into the ACTE Global Community.

This event will focus on discussing Corporate Travel Management topics that are most relevant to the Gulf Region and have been formulated by a Planning Committee based in the Middle East.

Topics to be discussed include a panel discussion on Airline Commissions and the impact on the Corporate Buyer, as well as corporate case studies on Hotel Purchase in a relationship driven environment and use of Corporate Cards to achieve better spend reporting and consolidation. The last session of the day will focus on the changing trends within the Middle Eastern market.

For further information on the Launch Event, please refer back to the Education Calendar for further updates or contact Monique Swart at the Middle East & Africa Office on +27 11 888 8178 or [email protected]
