12:00 | NDC + airline distribution buyer education forum What do we want?
The first ever “Corporate Travel Community Educational Forum” kicks off in Perth with a focus on air and particularly the impact of NDC. In this session we ask the custodians of key corporate travel programmes in Australia to bring their “burning” questions related to air and NDC. Hear how other buyers are feeling, learn from their programmes and voice your own opinion. The experts weigh in As airlines work on enhancing their retail offering and improving their merchandising capability via both direct and indirect channels, a resounding message from industry players is that the real impact to corporate programmes is yet to be understood. In response to concerns from corporate travel buyers, we bring together key industry experts to educate our audience on this important topic. |

As customers, employees, suppliers and society at large begins to place increasing importance on corporate social responsibility, corporate leaders have started to implement practises which positively contribute to society.
The big challenge for executives is how to develop an approach that can truly deliver on these ambitions. Some innovative companies have managed to overcome this hurdle by partnering with other businesses with social responsibility at its core.
In this important discussion, we will hear from organisations who live and breathe social responsibility, empowering female leaders and those businesses who are drivers for change.
