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.
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.

It’s just who they are. We promise they’ll keep it to a minimum. Consider this our disclaimer.
