TravelManagers rounded up their seventh national conference in Singapore with the announcement of its new charity partnership with Singapore based global charity based Buy1GIVE1 (B1G1).
The conference attracted 39 partner suppliers, a record attendance which saw dedicated partner supplier networking sessions, closed sessions including the very popular Q & A with the House of Travel Board of Directors and an open forum discussion with the TravelManagers’ National Partnership Management Team.
TravelManagers executive general manager Michael Gazal the open nature of the sessions gave the personal travel managers the opportunity to ask a wide range of questions and obtain clarity of a multitude of topics.
“It’s an open forum and anything goes which highlights the mutual respect and transparent nature of our organisation. It is hugely powerful for the personal travel managers,” Gazal added.
‘Secrets of Success’ were shared by a select group of personal travel managers in a new collective group discussion format facilitated by Keith Abraham.
The conference also involved a corporate focus through a small group corporate interactive workshop with tailored content specifically designed for the corporate focused personal travel managers.
Corporate operations executive at the national partnership office Simon Alcaraz said the opportunity to provide a dedicated workshop with invited guest speakers from a wide range of corporate based suppliers including Radius Travel, Edwardian Group London and Singapore Airlines came after feedback from the group’s corporate personal travel managers.
The new charity partnership with Singapore based global charity based Buy1GIVE1 (B1G1) launched with key note speaker, B1G1 co-founders Paul Dunn and Masami Sato. TravelManagers support will contribute towards 6 different projects through the concept where every travel transaction will result in day-to-day giving to people in need.
“We spend a great deal of time, energy and money ensuring our national conference is the best it can be for everyone – ensuring it meets the needs of our experienced personal travel managers as well as those that are new,” Gazal said.
The TravelManagers 2014 national conference is being held 15-18 August 2014 at the Raffles City Convention Centre in Singapore.
