Travel Risk Summit

Risk Management and Duty of Care continue to occupy the top slots in the business travel priority list. With so many triggers for risk in the world of travel management, we return for our annual Risk Summit with new knowledge to share to keep our Members updated in what’s happening to keep their travellers safer.  Having a robust travel risk strategy has never been more crucial. Do you have measures and procedures in place to safeguard your travellers and your organisation?

 

We will be exploring the latest geopolitical, safety and cyber security topics challenging the way we do business:


  • The pending impact of Brexit on travel programme management
  • Protecting the wellbeing of travellers
  • Mitigating risk in travel programming
  • Cyber risk when travelling


This one-day event includes expert speakers to help you identify, evaluate and mitigate risk in a Brexit transitioning world.

Neurodiversity & Air Travel

Are travellers’ neurodiversity needs truly being met throughout the air travel journey? What more must be done to ensure that airlines and their service models fully accommodate travellers with diverse cognitive, sensory, and communication needs? As part of our ongoing commitment to support our wonderfully diverse community, we continue to work with partners across the travel ecosystem to inspire genuinely inclusive programmes, products, and services. Following our recent webinar exploring Neurodiversity & the Airport Traveller Experience, this follow-up session turns the focus to Airlines & Neurodiversity. We will look at the onboard experience, pre-flight communication, crew training, seating and cabin considerations, environmental triggers, and the practical steps airlines are taking — or need to take — to support neurodiverse travellers more effectively. Join Tiffany Casson of Intel as she leads a discussion with accessibility experts Anna-Ruth Cockerham and Christianna Best, sharing lived experiences, current initiatives, and opportunities for meaningful improvement within the airline environment.
