ITM to kick off Focus Forums with ‘Automated Expense Management’ theme
The Institute of Travel Management will hold a one-day event focusing on Automated Expense Management on June 20.
It will be the first of a series of one-day Focus Forums being held by the organisation.
Taking place at the Lords Cricket Ground in North London, ITM members can attend the Focus Forum free of charge with non-ITM members paying £99.
ITM’s executive director Paul Tilstone explained: “In 2006 we decided to move away from the traditional format of evening events that were part social and part business, to a series of half, three-quarter and full day events with a clear educational focus.
“Our Focus Forums are dedicated to one topic, which in June will be ‘End to End Automated Expense Management – Myth or Reality?”
Speakers confirmed to date include Yves Weisselberger from KDS, the MoD’s Andy Towler, Jean Pierre Remy of Expedia Corporate Travel and Susan Hopley from TRX.
Confirmed sponsors are Barclaycard Business and Concur Technologies.
