It seemed like it would last forever, but the world is finally recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and business travel is coming back! We have been waiting to travel again but is it really that simple? Have things changed? What can we learn from our collective experience over the last year?
Join Rick George, SVP, Global Enterprise Sales, as he speaks with Andy Menkes, Michael Hall, and Robert McCoy about how their companies are handling the return to travel. We will be delving into the lessons learned during the pandemic and what new protocols will be coming in the future. Our panelists will have a chance to talk about what is and what will be different in business travel, as well as go into some of their concerns.
We are all excited to get back to traveling, but let's make sure we are doing it in the best way possible!
