Take a deep dive into the Travel Management Company (TMC) category and understand what you could and should negotiate on behalf of your organisation.

Buying Travel Management Services is a complicated minefield of service and technology options that vary depending on your companies own specific requirements, systems and processes. This workshop has been designed to help you work out the most effective way to source these services for your company. For some a bundled approach is the simplest and most cost effective solution whereby one supplier can provide all that is needed. For others, a far more cost effective and efficient solution can be achieved through a bespoke design using numerous suppliers. This workshop will help you identify which way is the best way for your specific organisation today and then help you work out the negotiating touch points that might help you drive a better deal.

The Training & Development Summit is specifically organised for Training and HR Managers and Directors who are directly responsible for the buying of training, development and related products and services.
