The ITMC Summit is the only conference that caters to Global Independent Travel Management Companies (TMCs), representing over US$34 billion in business travel sales in 2019.

Unfortunately, due to the global pandemic, we have had to postpone our physical event, ITMC Summit 2020, until 2021. However, we could not let this year pass without providing valuable insights into how the industry may evolve and what independent TMCs may need to consider when travel resumes.

Hickory Global Partners and WIN Global Travel Network have created Virtual ITMC 2020 – A Virtual Global Symposium Series Celebrating Independent TMCs. We are pleased to be working with Festive Road, and are excited to have Paul Tilstone moderate our two-part event.

In anticipation of the return of travel, we want to celebrate the benefits of using and working with a TMC. For this reason, we have decided to make July the month of the independent TMC.

The two sessions are titled Ready for Growth – Empowering Independent TMCs with a Future Value Proposition and Freedom from Transactions - Supporting Stable Growth Through a Revisited TMC Business Model.

The sessions will cover areas such as:

• Unique opportunities to adapt
• Close customer relationships
• Total trip management
• The needs of the buyer and traveller
• Creative business models
• The supplier chain relationship

Both sessions are open for TMCs and corporate buyers, with an agenda suitable for all sectors of the travel ecosystem.

While we are aware of the plethora of webinars and webcasts available, our aim is to deliver insightful and educational sessions to enable forward planning and prepare for the new normal.
