GBTA Oregon April 2026 Educational Luncheon

Navigating Immigration, Border Control & Business Travel in a Changing Global Landscape

In April we will bring together industry experts for a timely and thought-provoking panel discussion examining the evolving intersection of immigration policy, border control enforcement, and global business travel. As geopolitical shifts, regulatory changes, and heightened security measures continue to reshape international mobility, corporate travel leaders face increasing complexity in ensuring compliance while maintaining operational efficiency.

Our panel will explore current immigration trends, emerging border enforcement practices, visa processing challenges, and the practical implications for multinational organizations and traveling employees. Discussions will also address traveler preparedness, risk mitigation strategies, duty of care obligations, and how organizations can proactively adapt travel programs to remain agile amid uncertainty.  Attendees will gain practical guidance to help navigate regulatory uncertainty while safeguarding traveler experience and business continuity.

The GBTA Educational Luncheon will take place at The Heathman Lodge in Vancouver, WA. An unexpected urban retreat, The Heathman Lodge offers travelers and locals from the Portland & Vancouver area a blend of heart-felt service, business amenities and rustic, mountain lodge comfort. Inspired by authentic Pacific Northwest décor and cuisine, The Lodge provides every guest and group a calm refuge and a memorable experience.

The Heathman offers complimentary self-parking.
