The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) is the world’s premier business travel and meetings organization. Collectively, GBTA’s 5,000-plus members manage over $340 billion of global business travel and meetings expenditures annually. GBTA provides its network of 17,000 business and government travel and meetings managers, as well as travel service providers, with networking events, news, education & professional development, research, and advocacy.

Just as the act of travel involves a network of routes and transport, the business of travel involves a network of people and connections. GBTA’s 2012 Convention is the one place you can connect face-to-face with thousands of travel managers and industry suppliers to discover profit-boosting solutions to industry-wide challenges. The expo floor is the place to map out your route for exploring the latest technologies, tools and travel trends. The conference curriculum is your customizable itinerary for learning – from contract negotiation and financial modeling to safety and policy trends, and much more. Join a global audience of your peers in business travel management, and take your business in a new direction toward success.
