WHY PROCUREMENT PROFESSIONALS ATTEND

RUN A SMARTER RFP

Meet 100+ suppliers across every travel category in two days. Shortlist candidates, ask the hard questions in person, and scan the competitive landscape before you go to market — without weeks of discovery calls.

BENCHMARK YOUR PROGRAM

Hear how peer organizations structure their deals, measure supplier performance and quantify program value. Buyer-only community sessions give you candid, vendor-free conversations you won't get anywhere else.

NEGOTIATE FROM STRENGTH

BTN editorial experts and industry leaders break down where the market is heading on airline distribution, hotel rates, TMC commercial models and payment — and sessions like "Making the case: budget, ROI and the cost of not changing suppliers" arm you with what procurement is asked to prove: quantified impact, hidden costs, and the real price of supplier inertia.

DE-RISK THE CATEGORY

Duty of care, cross-border compliance, payment security, data protection: know what belongs in your next contract before your legal team asks. Assess risk management and security providers face to face and stress-test their answers.

OVER 100 SUPPLIERS IN ONE PLACE
