CTC Masterclass: Towards a new normal travel programme

The Corporate Travel Community (CTC) is proud to present our third digital Masterclass Series: Towards the ‘new normal’ travel programme to our valued CTC members and the broader corporate travel industry.

Each fortnight, the series will provide insight for travel management professionals on addressing critical issues as they adapt their travel programmes under the impact of COVID-19.

Phase one of our CTC Masterclass series involves hearing from leading corporate travel buyers from around the world. Our attention now turns to Europe and the UK and gives us the opportunity to learn from key buyers managing programmes in this region. During the Masterclass we will touch on key topics such as:

• Regional perspectives: The world has seen devastating health, economic and social impacts, varying by country and region. How are buyers from the UK/Europe regions adapting and being agile in their approach to business connectivity and the loss of travel?
• Rebooting travel programmes: What will corporate travel programmes look like in 2H2020, 2021 and beyond? How will corporates deal with downturns in air capacity and which supplier community are they most concerned about and why? How are organisations viewing the traditional RFP process now; are these processes essentially on hold
• Protocols in Crisis Management & Duty of Care: What do these look like in the context of a Global Pandemic? What impact will the easing of travel bans have on programmes?
• Traveller Wellbeing: How can travel programmes assist with ensuring the wellbeing, security and mental health of travellers in a COVID-19 world? How has Working from Home impacted organisations?
• Interactive audience Q&A: Audience participants will have the opportunity to address our esteemed panellists and canvass additional compelling information to aid in programme re-alignment decision making.

Buyers of Travel and Custodians of Corporate Travel programmes are welcoming relevant information to aid them in navigating today’s unchartered waters. We welcome you to register for this and upcoming CTC Masterclasses as we delve into each of these topics in more detail and welcome a fresh cast of industry experts to share their experiences.
