Agenda
 "Traveller Engagement – Using effective communications to deliver a successful travel programme and keep your travellers safe and secure, in a multi-generational, multi-media environment." The traveller is more and more integrated in the travel management process. In addition travellers are actively involved by providing feedback, and they have a clear opinion on suppliers and fares. They have access to content through all the different multimedia channels and prefer to make bookings on the spot 24/7. How to integrate these developments in your travel program in an intelligent way? And how to keep your travellers safe & secure. Find out more and join us in Frankfurt!

Session 1: The buyer´s perspective on traveller engagement Hear the perspective from a few corporate travel buyers on how they communicate with their travellers. Through some case study presentations you will learn how Travel Managers have set up and implemented a communication plan or social media strategy. How have they integrated multigenerational communication and social media in their travel program, and how to get the right buy in and support. But also the challenges and hurdles they encounter. After the presentations there will be a Q&A session with the presenters.

Session 3: Security & Compliance – keeping your travellers safe & secure Travel Managers are facing an increase of compliancy and security issues.

How to influence your travellers in such a way that you secure policy compliance and avoid security issues through effective communications, targeted at the different generations. How to ensure that you can track & trace your travellers, and reach them at any time. How to ensure that you reach your travellers in case of an emergency at any time, which is crucial with the ongoing threat of terrorism. Can security help achieving this?
