AirPlus International and its partners invited more than 250 registrants to attend to a very informative afternoon.
Three Business Travel Management “hot issues” were focused on in particular: Cost Cutting during a crisis period, Travel Security and Safety and Green Issues.

Organized at the Jardin d’Acclimatation in Paris, Univ’AirPlus gathered 250 registrants. Very few French travel managers and purchase managers missed the call in spite of the sunshine or late holidays.

“We want to find answers to problems that occur throughout the year,” explained John Baird-Smith, AirPlus France Country Manager, at the opening. “Our concern is to help travel managers in their daily life.” Three themes have been mainly identified: cost cutting, security and sustainable development.

After less than one year of existence, the AFTM (Association Française des Travel Managers) took this opportunity to introduce its first white paper Profession Travel Manager (sponsored by AirPlus). Then, several AirPlus partners made presentations of their new products & services: Laurent Sautré zoomed in on the new BNP Paribas Corporate Card, Ralph Robail provided details on the development of Notilus (Dimo Gestion Expense management tool), Ziad Minkara introduced its global hotel service CDS Booking, Patrick Sardais mentioned the new Avis Flex service for medium duration (1 to 11 months) car leasing, François Dodane recalled why choosing Thalys keeps travelers comfortable and their travel managers happy with the costs, Traveldoo introduced its security functionalities.
