Business Travel Market Conference Programme

The Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE), the official conference programme co-ordinator for this week’s Business Travel Market (BTM) at Excel, has firmed the full symposium schedule for the two-day gathering.  These executive-level education sessions will run throughout the event, tackling many key and topical industry issues.

Now in its third year, BTM will be held on 22 and 23 June at London’s ExCel and promises to be a valuable source of information for the hundreds of VIP Hosted Buyers, exhibitors and other visitors attending from all over Europe.

Featured speakers include James Hogan, CEO Etihad Airways; Paul Deighton, CEO of LOCOG (London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games); body language expert Richard Newman and ACTE Executive Director Ron DiLeo. 

There are 15 educational seminars with Anne Godfrey (GTMC) starting off on Wednesday morning by a presentation called ‘Getting up to Speed with High Speed Rail’ whilst the afternoon will see Airplus Communication Manager Rana Walker head a panel discussing the benefits of ‘Using Social Media to Improve Traveller Communication.’

Day two of BTM will continue with the same calibre of moderators and panel discussions, with sessions including ‘How to Create a Travel Policy in 60 Minutes.’  ‘Understanding the Demands of Travel on the Body and What You do to Keep Body and Mind in the Zone’ with Simon Shepherd, CEO of Optima Life, all tying in very nicely to this year’s BTM theme of ‘Optimising Business Travel Performance.’ www.businesstravelmarket.co.uk
