45 mins | CTC Think Tank: A meeting of the minds
In 2024, it was clear that while corporations are travelling again, the landscape of the industry looks very different to what it did pre-pandemic. From planning to return, the travel journey has become more complex. With an increasingly mobile workforce, companies need to meet new standards for duty of care and address changing sets of criteria when it comes to risk and cost management.
In this important discussion, we bring together industry leaders to help travel managers navigate the post-pandemic travel landscape.

This session is brought to you by Mastercard Industry Leader Keynote - Exploring the T&E Landscape: Navigating Corporate Travel With the rapid return of business travel, it is increasingly important for organisations to adapt to the needs of today’s business travellers. Travel managers need to evolve programs and systems to deliver an enhanced T&E user experience for travellers, and also enable core efficiencies for the business. This session will provide an overview of global trends shaping the T&E industry, and solutions that can be used to optimise spend, increase compliance, and create a better traveller experience. |

(10 mins each session + 15 mins panel discussion) | Practical Applications of Environmental Sustainability Initiatives
The travel industry as a whole continues its collective efforts to meet ambitious and highly public environmental goals. Yet, the implementation of strategies and tools for corporate travel is only starting to get underway.
Despite grand ambitions and investment, progress in the transition has been slow. Not to mention differing messages being presented to Travel Managers.
In this session, we bring together a collection of important environmental sustainability organisations to explain what technology, products or services exist today to help Travel Managers actually lower their carbon footprint.
All of the highlighted businesses in this session are available now and can help businesses start to improve their impact on the environment.
