Boston, Massachusetts
Convention: July 22-25, 2012

Success in Every Direction
Just as the act of travel involves a network of routes and transport, the business of travel involves a network of people and connections. GBTA’s 2012 Convention is the one place you can connect face-to-face with thousands of travel managers and industry suppliers to discover profit-boosting solutions to industry-wide challenges. The expo floor is the place to map out your route for exploring the latest technologies, tools and travel trends. The conference curriculum is your customizable itinerary for learning – from contract negotiation and financial modeling to safety and policy trends, and much more. Join a global audience of your peers in business travel management, and take your business in a new direction toward success.
