The GTMC today welcomes its newest industry partner, TRIPBAM, the award-winning cloud-based hotel rate assurance provider.

The partnership follows the announcement of TRIPBAM’s latest feature, Smart Share Shift (S3), which allows travel managers to shift share to preferred hotels and away from hotels that are not performing as expected. As a partner of the GTMC, TRIPBAM will be able to further expand its global footprint, drive greater savings and increased compliance for corporate hotel programmes and participate in a number of high-profile networking and industry events.

This year’s AEO Forums delivered a holistic mix of intellectual stimulation, social networking, physical health and emotional wellbeing to over 310 industry professionals spanning marketing, operations and sales. Held at BDC London, the AEO Forums brought together 94 businesses from across the events industry.

Chris Skeith, chief executive of AEO, says: ”The keynote, Karen Blackett from Mediacom, set the tone for the day with an enthralling presentation about Understanding the Customer in Modern Britain and the importance of trust, credibility, reliability, empathy, self- orientation and congruence. All things we like to think we have in spades at the AEO.”
