AROBS attends GBTA Convention

The GBTA Convention, the most important travel event of 2019 is taking place between 3 – 7 August in Chicago, USA. Therefore, our experts and consultants in custom travel solutions and software development are there to discuss future trends and connect with you.

The portrait of the modern travel buyer

In the context of the modern corporate travel buyer, how can we make the travel experience more complete? Also easier at the same time? What we know for certain is that the role of the travel buyer is evolving. Even more, this happens in parallel with the exponential development of technologies. Above all, this directly influences every aspect of the industry.

“Every day, new roles and responsibilities are created for travel buyers—to include procurement, human resources, security/risk mitigation, and meetings management. New security risks have altered the very identity of the travel professional, who must now factor current geopolitical issues into consideration.”, as the GBTA Convention organizers say.

Trends and social responsibility

The next generation of travel professionals, world-class education, and networking with industry-leading suppliers will all be at the GBTA Convention 2019.

Given the impact of the event and the impressive human presence, an important global cause will be highlighted: the fight against child trafficking. Hence, a 5 km run/walk will take place on Sunday, 4th of August. Certainly, you can spot our colleagues by looking at the message on their T-shirts: “Let’s keep our children free and safe”.

Furthermore, we couldn’t miss the chance to talk about trends and technologies that will shape our common future regarding the Travel industry and its services. This impacts millions of people and niche companies.

So, let’s meet in Chicago from August 3 – 7 at the GBTA Convention. Other 400+ exhibiting companies, 175+ education & professional development sessions and nearly 7000 attendees will be there to represent over 50 countries.
