Daily News Brief - March 9, 2021 - Global Business Travel Association

Comunícate con Suzanne

Hola, todos,

Time to check in!

These are such good words, ones we’d all love to see regularly again in our travel apps – anticipating the meetings, agendas, relationships, and business success driving us to travel in the first place.

So, it’s week two for me at GBTA! And it’s time for me to check in with you.

I hope you were able to celebrate International Women’s Day with me yesterday as we recognized nearly 60 deserving women (and a few men!) from around the world at our WINiT Awards and Virtual Gala. If you missed it, we will be posting a recording of the 90-minute event, graciously sponsored by Cvent, United for Business and CTM. The recording will be accessible via our home page y el Centro GBTA. Congratulations to all the winners and those nominated – what talent we have in our industry!

As I listened in and spoke with more of you in the past few days, I’ve been so pleased to confirm the resilience of GBTA’s mission. It’s all about members… connections at the local/regional/global level, and collective expertise. We are also a marketplace of ideas. And we are better as an industry when we are all strong, doing what we love.
