BBT, HRS and ITM will be hosting the UK’s inaugural Corporate Travel Forum on June 9.
The event will be held on the 42nd floor of the Leadenhall Building in London.
It is open exclusively to buyers and procurement professionals.
Serial entrepreneur Ellis Watson will be joining delegates as the keynote speaker. Ellis was managing director of Celador and helped create ‘Who wants to be a Millionaire’.
He is now CEO of DC Thomson, the Scottish media group. He previously headed Simon Cowell’s joint venture with Sony, and turned around the legendary Greyhound Bus business.
Focusing solely on the hotel category, industry experts will unravel the complexities of hotel programme management from sourcing through to expense claim and analytics. The total cost of stay is often limited to the price of a hotel, but the Forum will explore other avenues of cost in the hotel booking cycle.
