The Global Congress’ unprecedented convergence of global thought leaders of the travel, tourism and hospitality industries offers solutions for the entire “Duty of Care” equation: Policy Development, Compliance Training and Reinforcement Best Practices, Tracking (including employee privacy concerns) Crisis Response, Evacuation Solutions, Executive Protection and full discussions on insurance, medical health, travel, liability and how they interact with mobile employees. Following Conrad N. Hilton’s vision of “world peace through international trade and travel,” attendees will learn about best practices, benchmark current policies across industries, view the latest safety and security products and services available, and discover the results of the most recent research being conducted around the world. The conference’s one-of-a-kind public-private dialogue is crucial, which is why it is suggested all travel professionals who are directly or indirectly responsible for the legality, safety or security of mobile people, data or property attend.

This year’s Global
Congress on Travel Risk
Management will change
the way you think about
meetings and events. As
in years past, we offer
attendees who join us
on the first day access
to educational sessions
delivered by subject-
matter experts from the
fields of travel, tourism,
and hospitality. Our
speakers will tackle everything from mobile data protection
to ground transportation security; if you’re involved in travel
risk management, these sessions offer diverse, unparalleled
education on the multifaceted industry in which you
operate.
If you plan on joining us for the second day (either as
a participant or spectator), prepare yourself for a crisis
management training event unlike anything you’ve
experiencedbefore.Thisisgoingtobeafull-immersion,day-
long journey into the heart of preparing for and responding
to a situation in which mobile employees and data are
suddenly in harm’s way. If you’ve secured a spot on one of
our teams, you’ll work with seven of your counterparts from
across the travel risk management spectrum to engage,
adapt to, and mitigate two realistic crises that each occur
in a distinct, fully-realized (fictional) developing nation. You
will work against the clock and under detailed evaluation
to handle the situation, and you will walk away with a
comprehensive gap analysis for you and your team.
Forthosewhodon’twanttoparticipatejustyetbutareitching
to see what all the hype is about, join us as a spectator and
get in on the action. In addition to moving among the tables
and watching your peers operate under pressure to adapt
to the developing situation, you’ll have access to a broad
spectrum of media that covers the world surrounding these
scenarios, real-life travel risk management applications, and
more.
At three previous Global Congresses, we broke new ground
by uniting every spoke on the travel risk management wheel
under one roof for intensive education and networking. In
2014, we intend to take the first step into the future of high-
powered industry events. We hope to see all of you there.

OPENING REMARKS
INSURANCE FOR ALL ASPECTS OF BUSINESS TRAVEL
Scott West, Pathfinder Insurance Group and Brian Iaia, UnitedHealthcare
International
You just finalized an employee’s foreign trip travel policy with your underwrit-
er, and it seems like you’re ready to send the employee to a meeting in Egypt.
But wait—does your insurance provider have country restrictions that include
Egypt? If it does, has your underwriter gotten the memo yet? Insurance for
business travel can be very tricky. Join us and develop some tools for navigating
the insurance labyrinth.
TRAVEL POLICY AND RISK - KEY FACTORS AND SAMPLE POLI-
CIES AS INDUSTRY STANDARDS
Charles Brossman, FCm and Art Garffer, AFIMAC
In this session, we will approach travel risk management from a policy
management perspective. A sound policy begins with a careful measurement of
a company’s “risk threshold,” followed by a careful adjustment of policies and
resources. We will have sample policies on hand for use as templates while we
walk you through policy reviews and updates.

TRAINING, MONITORING AND COMMUNICATION
Bruce McIndoe, iJet International
You might have the most comprehensive travel policy in the

policy, it becomes useless. Join us and learn how the best in the business teach
their own employees.
DEFINING OUR DUTY OF CARE TO MOBILE EMPLOYEES
William Wright, Fisher & Phillips and Donald Dowling, White & Case
What safety, security, and administrative policies do we owe
employees who travel to do business for us? What measures and
precautions should those policies include? Join us and develop a
general foundation for defining your duty of care to mobile
employees.

This session addresses your corporate and personal data while traveling, especial-
ly while traveling overseas. In today’s advanced digital age, your proprietary data
is at risk of being stolen or manipulated by competitors, government agencies
and criminal elements. Learn the basics of safeguarding it and ensuring that it
is not tampered with. The session will also take a look at protecting your critical

MEETINGS
Stephen Barth, HospitalityLawyer.com and Johan Selle, iJet
When lots of employees gather together at a predetermined, publicly-adver-
tised place and time, everyone involved must address the inherently elevated
level of risk that accompanies meetings and events. As an employer, employee, or
meeting organizer, what are some of the specific safety and security concerns
you must address? Join us and learn how to manage risk at meetings and events.

FCPA - Foreign Corrupt Practices Act |Charles Meachem,
Gardere - 10:45 -11:45 AM
The entire business enterprise, both buyers and suppliers, must
understand the broad scope and impact of this law and its
foreign counterparts. As more and more mobile employees are
engaged in commerce in foreign zones, significantly higher
numbers of negotiations for travel aspects are being performed by
a broader array of employees (travel management, procurement,
HR, meeting planners, etc).

Stay America and Todd Sieders, Petra
10:45 -11:45 AM & 3:30 - 4:15 PM

the hotel and the duty of care obligations of the corporate buyer,
as well as a submission/response process that is relatively painless.

tion|Bruce McIndoe, iJET International - 3:30 - 4:45 PM

safe, secure, and seamless travel.
Aviation Safety and Security Assessment|Charlie LeBlanc,
FrontierMEDEX - 10:45 -11:45 AM & 3:30 - 4:45 PM
The focus of this roundtable will be to discuss the best practices in
aviation safety and security. We will also identify the primary con-
cerns and possible solutions that can ensure safe travel.
Ground Transportation Safety and Security Assessment|Adrian
Vergel, AFIMAC - 3:30 - 4:45 PM
Ground transportation experts will identify the primary ground
transportation risks for mobile employees, effective practices for
mitigating those risks, and steps to assess the level of safety and
security provided by ground transportation suppliers.
Mobile Data and IP Protection|Steve Cocco, Security Strategies
Today - 3:30 - 4:45 PM
The protection of data and other intellectual property is
paramount both at home and abroad. This session will suggest
best practices to identify potential threats, ways to guard against
them, and resources at your disposal.
INTENSIVE ROUNDTABLES

9. Visa Facilitation|Ryan Chargois, FosterQuan - 10:45 -11:45 AM
The basic, particularly pertinent question for employees of U.S.
global companies: When should employees of U.S. firms with
international operations enter a country as a visitor, and when do
they need to obtain a work-authorized visa status? Join us for this
roundtable and learn the answer.
Best Practices in Evacuation|George Taylor, iJET International
10:45 -11:45 AM & 3:30 - 4:45 PM
At this roundtable, we discuss the key differences between
arranging basic commercial/charter transportation for clients and

the escalation to a third-party evacuation begins? Join us and learn
more.
A Deeper Dive into Travel Policies Surrounding Risk
Management|Art Garffer, AFIMAC and Nikki Leeds, Hess Corp
10:45 -11:45 AM
A truly effective travel policy offers contingencies and
procedures for a wide spectrum of events; it’s also simple enough
that your employees can learn it quickly and thoroughly, and
flexible enough that you can adapt it to unforeseen circumstances.
Join us and learn how to achieve this balancing act. Modeled after
the general session, this roundtable delves even deeper into travel
policies surrounding risk management.
A Deeper Dive into Business Travel Insurance|Scott West,
Pathfinder Insurance Group and Brian Iaia, UnitedHealthcare
INTL - 3:30 - 4:45 PM

your underwriter, and it seems like you’re ready to send the
employee to a meeting in Egypt. But wait—does your insurance
provider have country restrictions that include Egypt? If they do,
has your underwriter gotten the memo yet? Insurance for
