April 8-9, 2008 Shanghai, China
Learn, Explore and Network in China – An Increasingly Important World Market

In just five years, China has become the third largest business travel market, and it’s still growing.  If you are not already doing business in China, chances are that you will be soon.

Before opportunities are missed (or mistakes are made) learn about the emerging Chinese business travel market first-hand in Shanghai, China’s most populated city and one of the world’s leading financial centers.

CT&TW will bring together top business travel professionals from China, the U.S., and a number of Asia Pacific countries.

Travel management plays a significant financial role and can contribute to a corporation’s bottom line or shareholder value. Since the cost of travel is a corporation's second or third largest controllable expense, having experienced travel management staff manage and negotiate travel-related services provides measurable financial benefits to the corporation. In addition, monitoring and analyzing travel expenditures is essential for realizing cost-cutting opportunities.

The 2008 CT&TW will feature:

• Welcome Reception
• Three General Sessions
• Six Educational Seminars
• Industry expert speakers from the U.S., China and other Asia Pacific countries
• Simultaneous interpretation in English and Chinese (Mandarin)
• Technology, Exhibitor, & Sponsor Showcase of leading suppliers  
• Numerous opportunities to network with global colleagues

Who should attend?

Corporate travel managers and corporate travel suppliers who operate or plan to operate in China and other Asia-Pacific countries. While every travel manager will benefit by attending this conference, the 2008 CT&TW will be especially useful for corporate travel professionals with programs that are multi-national and global in scope.
