ACTE Global Summit 2019 in Amsterdam / 23 – 25 October 2019

As usual, lots of  business travel events will take place in autumn. Hardly a week without a customer event of a TMC or a regional or even international major event. That makes the decision where we should be present with our teams very difficult. With the ACTE Global Summit 2019 in Amsterdam, one of the most important events of the season is just around the corner.  Unfortunately, we will probably not be present at this year’s ACTE Global Summit 2019 from 23 – 25 October 2019 at the Postillion Hotel & Convention Centre in Amsterdam. And this despite the

ACTE Education Forum Zurich 2018

It took a while for the agenda to be published for this years ACTE Education Event on 7th June at the Holiday Inn Messe in Zurich. With “Broaden the perspective to achieve more” this years focus is on new approaches for known challenges. In cooperation with STM (Swiss Travel Management) an attractive set of sessions has been designed. I am really excited to see what ACTE will present in the three planned sessions during the event. I any case, some high profile speakers and panelists are already anounced. More will follow soon. After having moderated the afternoon’s sessions last

TravelBrain services now also available in French It’s taken a while, but now our website is up and running in French. Our golive for the new language version was at the beginning of the week. Naturally, you will probably still find a couple of small mistakes, some text portions that are not yet translated or some sentences that could be more elegantly expressed. From now on, all our blog entries will also be made available in all languages. I am happy and proud that we can now offer our services in a further language. If you do encounter mistakes

The Event – ACTE Education Forum Zurich – 11 May 2017

It has now been a few days ago since we took part in the ACTE Education Forum at the Park Hyatt Zürich on May 11th 2017. ACTE invited folks to an open discussion on digitization in the Travel Industry and its effect on Travel Management under the banner question “Are you digital?”. An exciting forum with a good mix of travel managers and Travel Industry suppliers and an event that involved more preparation time in advance than usual. Things don’t always turn out as expected…. ACTE, like other event organizers, has changed how these events are structured and kicked

ACTE Education Forum – 11 May 2017 in Zurich

Plans are apparently there to change. When I registered for this years ACTE Education Forum in Zurich on 11 May 2017 held in the Parky Hyatt Zurich I was expecting a relaxing afternoon with interesting topics and great discussons. The sessions announced on Digital Transformation and Hotel Sourcing were very promising. Only that my idea of having a quiet day later this week have changed dramatically. Which means that I will now be moderating two panel disucssions on the above subjects.    ACTE Education Forum – “Are you Digital” As seen in other such events on Corporate Travel, the
