4. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The travel, tourism and hospitality industries are a $3.5
trillion global economic powerhouse encompassing
transportation, lodging, and venues and events.
Governments around the world spend trillions on
infrastructure and travel support systems. Disruptions are
costly, both financially and in customer goodwill.
The Global Congress’s objective is to facilitate the
delivery of safe, secure and uninterrupted travel via an
all-encompassing public-private dialogue dedicated to
the sharing of best practices for issues faced by the global
travel, tourism and hospitality industries.
The Global Congress features in-depth sessions for the
entire duty of care equation:
• Policy Development
• Compliance Training & Reinforcement
• Best Practices
• Tracking
• Crisis Reponse

“[we] are all talking about the topic of traveler safety, security and
travel risk management, but we are NOT talking together, sharing
and harmonizing solutions. Protection of human assets, whether
traveling or not, is a multidisciplinary effort and organizations
need us to work together to be effective. This Global Congress
will provide a venue and forum to initiate and leverage a cross-
functional dialogue.”

6. Defining our Global Duty of Care to Mobile Employees
Duty of Care: What is it and how do we achieve it? Where does it apply? Is a hotel or airline an
extension of the workplace? What is the real responsibility of a business to vet the security level of a
hotel or airline? What about government travel warnings: how much weight should they be given? How
does the utilization of a third party travel management company affect the duty of care?
Insurance for All Aspects of Business Travel
Experts from the insuranceand assistance industries will provide fundamental language and product
knowledge that Travel Managers need to ensure that their program is properly covered, andto allow
them to communicate effectively with riskmanagers, vendors, and travelers at the time of loss.
Creating an Effective Travel Policy That Includes Risk Management
A panel oftravel industry thought leaders, travel attorneys and travel experts converge for this crucial
conversation on effective travel policies that include risk management.
Best Practices in Executive Protection
Join us for our discussion about executive protection; the solutions and best practices for mitigating
risks that have been identified throughout the Congress to achieve safe, secure and seamless travel.
Integration of the Entire Corporate Enterprise into Travel Risk Management
This session identifies the common issues and concerns that directly or indirectly impact all aspects
of the corporate enterprise into travel risk management: security, risk management, human resources
and legal. Join experts as they share their perspectives from all aspects of corporate enterprise to help
identify proper procedures and solutions in order to effectively integrate the corporate enterprise into
travel risk management.
Solving Safety and Security Concerns at Meetings and Events
The events and attractions industries are like no other. Whether it is a sporting event, concert,
tradeshow, festival, carnival, awards show, or political convention they present a unique set of
challenges. Events and attraction operators, regardless of size or situation, are exposed to risks
involving safety, security, legal, financial, and environmental considerations. In order for an event
to be successful, it must manage all of its obligations appropriately; after all, you only have one
opportunity to succeed. The increasingly competitive and international presence of the events and
attractions industries warrants swift and decisive action regarding sound safety and security measures.
This presentation will help you identify and manage your event and attraction safety and security
obligations.
Best Practices for Hotel Security Assessments
This session will explore the various methods you may use to vet hotels and help reinforce your duty
of care requirements. A Security Manager and specialist in security will be on hand to give some case
studies about their successes and failures and answer yourquestions so you can improve your value to
your company and travellers.
Case Study: What Have We Learned from Recent Travel Disruptions
Volcanic ash, H1N1, Egypt, Libya, Japanwhen transportation is interrupted, connections are missed,
meetings do not occur, hotels and cruises go empty, business is delayed or lost, and passengers are
stranded. The global travel equation is totally interdependent. What have we done well, what can we do
better? What are the needs of the leisure and business traveler, the meeting planner when disruptions
occur, and how can the industry work together to meet those needs?
