Friday, 26 Jan, 2017 0

The Guild of Travel Management Companies will celebrate 50 years at its 2017 overseas conference in Monaco.

The conference will take place from Sunday June 4-Tuesday June 6 in Monte Carlo, with easyJet as headline sponsor.

The first day of the conference, on Monday June 5, will review the current state of business travel, with a particular focus on how the market is faring a year on from the initial Brexit decision.

Tim Montgomerie, Washington correspondent for The Times, will be joined by global economist Gerard Lyons, to lead the debate before delegates enjoy a 50^th anniversary gala celebration.

On the second day, delegates will be joined by leading futurologist Rohit Talwar who will examine the biggest changes that are set to impact the business travel industry.

GTMC CEO Paul Wait said: "After half a century representing the business travel industry, we’ll be using this year’s event not only to celebrate but also to review some of the biggest learnings from the last few decades and, more importantly, to discuss future trends."
