## Resource

Corporate travel management: obsolete relic of the fax machine era… or the industry's best-kept secret weapon? Depends who you ask. Airlines will say, 'We don't need TMCs.' TMCs will say, 'Good luck with duty of care when your VP of Sales is stuck in O'Hare at 11pm.' This 20-minute discussion will focus on the predictions and fears of the TMC's future role Speakers: Stephanie Lachance EHI, Strategic Sales Director Mauro Di Re, Travel Portfolio and Corporate Expenses – Managing Partner at American Iron & Metal (AIM) Brought to you by the GBTA Canada tech committee Music track is Space Jazz by Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License
