Beyond the Hype: Practical AI Strategies in Corporate Travel & Expense

Join industry leaders for a pragmatic, hype-free panel discussion on how Artificial Intelligence is transforming corporate travel and expense management. Moving beyond theoretical concepts, this session focuses on actionable AI strategies currently driving real ROI, from AI copilots in booking workflows and proactive disruption triage to automated expense auditing and predictive procurement analytics.

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly shifting from experimental pilot projects to an embedded operational layer across corporate travel ecosystems. However, with significant noise surrounding GenAI and autonomous agents, travel managers, procurement leaders, and finance executives need clear, proven frameworks to separate genuine operational value from marketing hype.

In this interactive panel discussion, "Beyond the Hype: Practical AI Strategies in Corporate Travel & Expense," corporate travel directors, TMC executives, travel tech innovators, and risk management experts will gather to analyze real-world AI applications across enterprise travel management.

 Attendees will learn how leading organizations are leveraging AI to:

Enhance Traveler Experience: Deploy conversational copilots and natural language booking tools that personalize itineraries while dynamically enforcing compliance.

Proactively Manage Disruptions: Automate delay predictions, flight rebooking, and duty-of-care support before travel delays turn into business downtime.

Optimize Spend & Expense Auditing: Utilize predictive cost intelligence and automated receipt reconciliation to achieve efficiency gains and spend reductions.

Navigate Governance & Trust: Overcome data privacy, security, and employee adoption hurdles with structured change management strategies

Whether you are developing your organization's AI travel roadmap or evaluating software vendors, this session provides actionable benchmarks and strategic criteria to make informed decisions.

Please join us at the Sheraton Portland Airport - Parking is complimentary
