This year’s Global Congress on Travel Risk Management will change the way you think about meetings and events. As in years past, we offer attendees who join us on the first day access to educational sessions delivered by subject-matter experts from the fields of travel, tourism, and hospitality. Our

speakers will tackle everything from mobile data protection to ground transportation security; if you’re involved in travel risk management, these sessions offer diverse, unparalleled education on the multifaceted industry in which you operate.

If you plan on joining us for the second day (either as a participant or spectator), prepare yourself for a crisis management training event unlike anything you’ve experienced before. This is going to be a full-immersion, day-long journey into the heart of preparing for and responding to a situation in which mobile employees and data are suddenly in harm’s way. If you’ve secured a spot on one of our teams, you’ll work with seven of your counterparts from across the travel risk management spectrum to engage, adapt to, and mitigate two realistic crises that each occur in a distinct, fully-realized (fictional) developing nation. You will work against the clock and under detailed evaluation to handle the situation, and you will walk away with a comprehensive gap analysis for you and your team.

For those who don’t want to participate just yet but are itching to see what all the hype is about, join us as a spectator and get in on the action. In addition to moving among the tables and watching your peers operate under pressure to adapt to the developing situation, you’ll have access to a broad spectrum of media that covers the world surrounding these scenarios, real-life travel risk management applications, and more.

At three previous Global Congresses, we broke new ground by uniting every spoke on the travel risk management wheel under one roof for intensive education and networking. In 2014, we intend to take the first step into the future of high-powered industry events. We hope to see all of you there.

ATTENDEES INCLUDE

GREETINGS! FROM THE FOUNDER OF HOSPITALITYLAWYER.COM

At the 2014 Global Congress on Travel Risk Management, on October 13 and 14, 2014, your Enterprise Travel Risk team receives intensive training during a day-long immersive scenario on how to proactively prepare for and effectively respond to real world travel disruptions. You’ll also have access to a full day of educational sessions with subject matter experts.

The first day of the 2014 Global Congress on Travel Risk Management delivers intensive education via presentations and roundtables; with exceptional networking opportunities for everyone involved in business travel. We cover topics ranging from evacuation best practices to IP protection, and our speakers lead their respective fields in expertise and innovation. If you have a stake in business travel, we designed this event specifically to augment your professional toolbox.

Day Two departs from the traditional conference format and challenges participants to engage two scenarios involving business travel risk management. In one scenario, a tsunami strikes a coastal region, and in the other, a coup d’état plunges a nation into chaos; in both cases, you have personnel on the ground.

OPENING REMARKS

INSURANCE FOR ALL ASPECTS OF BUSINESS TRAVELScott West, Pathfinder Insurance Group and Brian Iaia, UnitedHealthcare InternationalYou just finalized an employee’s foreign trip travel policy with your underwrit-er, and it seems like you’re ready to send the employee to a meeting in Egypt. But wait—does your insurance provider have country restrictions that include Egypt? If it does, has your underwriter gotten the memo yet? Insurance for business travel can be very tricky. Join us and develop some tools for navigating the insurance labyrinth.

TRAVEL POLICY AND RISK - KEY FACTORS AND SAMPLE POLI-CIES AS INDUSTRY STANDARDSCharles Brossman, FCm and Art Garffer, AFIMAC In this session, we will approach travel risk management from a policy management perspective. A sound policy begins with a careful measurement of a company’s “risk threshold,” followed by a careful adjustment of policies and resources. We will have sample policies on hand for use as templates while we walk you through policy reviews and updates.
