Every company will be coming out of the COVID-19 restrictions in their own way, and the exact timing for reopening the travel industry remains somewhat unknown. One thing is definite: we need to be preparing travel programs and travelers now for when the full restrictions from this pandemic are behind us and we’re all able to start traveling again – because it is going to be different than before.

Series will cover these key post-COVID-19 business travel topics:

Meeting and Event Travel       
Cancelled Tickets
Airline Waivers 

Necessary Travel Data 

Our final webinar will bring our team together for a Townhall recap and discussion about what it all means for the future of business travel.

Managing a travel program is hard. If the COVID-19 outbreak has taught those of us that work in the travel industry anything – its that managing a travel program during a crisis, or trying to recover it after one, is even harder.

 

We promise to do our best at keeping the sales pitch* out of it; it’s not what this is about. It’s not what we all need right now. Information, like cash, remains king.

 

Join our team for four educational webinars on what we think business travel will look like as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, what to expect as you begin booking again, what you should be tracking and paying attention to, and how to create the program you wish you’d had at your disposal at the beginning of March 2020.


Join us as we prepare for what comes next.

*Although they’ve assured us they’ll only be talking about facts and theories, we’re skeptical that our executives can talk about travel for that many hours without at least mentioning some of our great products and services. It’s just who they are. We promise they’ll keep it to a minimum. Consider this our disclaimer.

"Very professional, friendly and informational."
"Everyone I have spoken to [at Gant] has been professional and very knowledgable."
