Trending

An ITM Signature Event

During this event, we will hear and debate how our esteemed speakers see 2025 in relation to their industry and remits.  They will share thoughts on key trends and how we can take advantage of them to rebuild and refocus on a stronger, more responsible industry and travel programme for 2025 and beyond.

We will also share the results of our annual Buyer Priorities survey which will be distributed to all ITMs buyer members during the last 2 weeks of November to complete. This survey will highlight changing priorities and our buyers forward focus on some key considerations as they relate to travel management.

Charity Golf Day

Calling all golfers…!   Our spring conference, INSPIRE [http://www.itm.org.uk/inspire], is taking place at Celtic Manor Resort. With three championship golf courses and a legacy as the home of the 2010 Ryder Cup, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to enjoy a round of golf while supporting our ITM Cares charity!   The day after INSPIRE concludes, join us for a very special golfing event at the world-famous Montgomerie Course on Thursday, 1 May, in partnership with Enterprise Mobility. This dramatic par-69 challenge will be our home for the day as we raise funds for ITM Cares’ chosen charity for 2025: Pumping Marvellous.   For just £30 per person, you’ll enjoy a full day of golf at this renowned course, complete with refreshments at our halfway house and a grab-and-go food menu.
