GBTA annonce le champion du monde et médaillé d'or Michael Phelps comme conférencier invité à la Convention GBTA 2017

Alexandria, VA (February 7, 2017) – The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), the voice of the global business travel industry, today announced Michael Phelps will be a featured speaker at GBTA Convention 2017, July 15-19 in Boston. A conversation with Michael Phelps, one of the most decorated athletes in the history of sport, will take place at Convention Arena on Wednesday, July 19.

“We are extremely pleased to welcome Michael Phelps to the stage at GBTA Convention 2017,” said Michael W. McCormick. “Many athletes can win, but only a select few can truly dominate their sport like Michael Phelps has. Our attendees are sure to be entertained and inspired by his message of dream, plan and reach – an approach we can all take in our personal and professional lives.”

Michael Phelps is widely regarded as the most decorated athlete in history, capturing a total of 28 medals including a record-setting 23 gold medals, over the course of his swimming career. Phelps utilized his performance bonus for winning eight gold medals in 2008 to establish the Michael Phelps Foundation. Committed to growing the sport of swimming, the Foundation addresses the need for water-safety through its signature program – im – that is available through the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Special Olympics International.

The most decorated swimmer in World Championships history, Phelps launched his own competitive swimwear brand – MP – in partnership with Aqua Sphere in 2014. He has published two autobiographies – No Limits: The Will to Success and Beneath the Surface – that were New York Times and USA Today best sellers, as well as published one children’s book – How to Train with a T-Rex and Win Eight Gold Medals. He is a highly regarded inspirational speaker, sharing his message of “Dream, Plan, Reach” with audiences ranging from children to business executives.
