Sustainability Summit - Webinar
Get up to speed with the latest on sustainability as we explore this ever-evolving topic.
As requested by our members, we are pleased to announce we will be hosting our first ITM Sustainability Summit. The conversation around sustainability has rightfully shifted and we will be covering a mix of topics under its heading such as environment, wellbeing, duty of care and diversity. We are delighted to have a mix of speakers from the Academic and Corporate worlds supported by Suppliers, all of whom are making changes to their programmes and services to make them more ethical and protective for the future. We all need to play our part in this journey and our Speakers are ready to share their facts, recommendations, experience and vision about how we can take the information gleaned back to our businesses and be actionable to deliver continuous improvements. Sustainability requires planning and commitment.
ITM Summits are informative and interactive and provide valuable networking opportunities to enable you to create lasting business relationships
Note: Due to the ongoing concerns regarding COVID-19 and the latest government suggestions, we have converted this Summit into a virtual event. Please contact secretariat@itm.org.uk if you have any questions. Agenda is subject to change.

Inclusive Travel Programmes - ’One Year On’
One year ago, the ITM Building Inclusive Travel Programmes Taskforce released its buyer guide [https://www.itm.org.uk/resources/itm-inclusive-travel-programme-guide], providing practical recommendations to help organisations create travel programmes that better support the diverse needs of their travellers. Twelve months on, where are we now? Join members of the Taskforce as they reflect on the progress made since the guide's release, explore how organisations have responded to its recommendations and discuss the challenges and opportunities that remain. Together, we'll examine how inclusive travel programmes are evolving across both corporate travel teams and the wider supply chain, and consider what meaningful progress looks like in practice. Through shared experiences, industry perspectives and open discussion, this webinar will assess whether inclusion is becoming embedded within travel programme strategy or risks being treated as a one-off initiative.
