Are you ok traveling? Check yes or no. This question is presented in black and white, but the answer can be so much more nuanced. How much traveling is involved? Are they day trips or overnights? Across the country or around the city? To the home office or trade shows and conferences? The answer someone gives depends on that information and the application question needs to reflect that, don’t you agree?

My article "2 Mistakes that You're Making When Planning your Client's Trips" is now live in the 2024 Host Week Magazine. These 2 mistakes give a fresh and more meaningful approach to travel planning. You can read it on pages 40 and 41 in the magazine link below. #travelplanning #travelcoach #travelcoaching #travelmarketing #femalefounder https://lnkd.in/g7UZmKbV

Are you ready for CtUC Connect 2023? We wanted to ensure you’ve checked all the boxes on your conference planning list. Look at our list and let us know what’s on yours! Check out our agenda to plan to attend the sessions: https://ow.ly/Uhv850PGXla #CtUCConnect2023 #SterileProcessing #CensisTechnologies #Nashville #Travel #Conference Here are some items we’re keeping in mind for CtUC:

Orlando and DC Enhance Transportation Alternatives, Western Connections Could Follow Getting everyone gracefully from point A to meeting B is one of the challenges event professionals wrestle with every day, even if those points are simply from airport to venue and back again. https://lnkd.in/g4JAQrgd

So many great speakers, interactive sessions and exhibitors! It's an ASAP - The Association of Serviced Apartment Providers flagship event and one not to miss. Secure your ticket early! For details of sponsorship and exhibiting opportunities contact me or any of the fantastic ASAP Conference committee members Kim Ashmore Sarah Tasker Becky Wordsworth Hoyle Jake Seage Krystal Taylor-Groom Trine Oestergaard Stafford LauraJane Igoe Beatriz Schwarz Melanie Degand Cornelia Montgomery In case you didn't know already, this year's ASAP Annual Conference is going to be better than ever - and with a truly inclusive theme. Under the title of People : Planet : Principles, we're coming together to discuss challenges and find solutions, as well as hearing from some inspirational, fun, incisive speakers on a variety of topics. From ESG to Data and Policy, from listening to our colleagues and our hearts to hearing about future technology trends and current requirements for RFPs, and hearing it all from the horse's mouth - from agents, corporate travel buyers and those at the sharp end of business travel. As we said about the ASAP Awards in June, this time it's different! (And it was...). You won't want to miss this one. We look forward to meeting you there. Tickets are selling steadily, especially the 5+ discounted bundles. So why not put it your diary and book your ticket now - we're expecting a full house, and we haven't even told you about the main speaker or the Eureka session... #servicedapartments #aparthotel #staywithconfidence

Three excellent choices to lead the industry in Australia.

Travel can be a significant obstacle keeping people from attending your event. Adding on a virtual component is a great way to increase attendance by making participation more convenient and cost effective.
