Mark your calendar and begin making plans today to attend the first-ever ISM-NBTA Summit on Travel & Meetings: Supply Management’s Critical Role. This unique event will be held January 27-28, 2009 at the Westin Charlotte in Charlotte, NC
This is an outstanding opportunity for experienced professionals with oversight responsibilities for business travel and meeting spend within supply management operations. The conference will focus on the challenges associated with the complex task of managing travel and meetings – the largest category of indirect spend. As more and more companies place their travel and meetings operations with their supply management organization, it’s important that the professionals charged with directing travel and meeting spend policy decisions have the tools necessary to advance their company’s capabilities in this area. This conference will help meet that need.

The conference is intended to produce strategic dialogue between those professionals who direct oversight of the travel and meetings management function(s) within their companies and those within the company’s procurement organization who have direct supervisory oversight of those functional areas. The ideal conference attendees will be:
- Senior travel management professionals who report to their company’s procurement (supply management) operation
- Senior meetings management professionals who report to their company’s procurement (supply management) operation
- Senior purchasing professionals to whom the travel and/or meetings functions report.
The unique nature of individual business trips and corporate meetings make travel and meetings management particularly complex types of services spend. Whether you view yourself an supply management professional or a travel or meetings management professional, you will benefit from the insights gained from hearing professionals on both sides of the spectrum offer their views and suggested solutions to the challenges you face. |
