If you’re going to NBTA’s Convention in Houston next week, and you’d like to catch up – let me know! I’ll arrive on Saturday afternoon, and leave on Wednesday afternoon. No firm plans yet for dinner on Sunday or Monday, but a few of us are thinking about Tex-Mex on one of those nights…if that sounds good, you’re invited – the more, the merrier!
Here are a few things I’m planning to check out at the Trade Show:
- TRX’s TravelTrax and Travel Analytics offerings
- Concur’s Breeze
- BCD’s and Cornerstone’s integration with TripIt
- Egencia’s Airfare Benchmarking tool
- GetThere’s integration of video conferencing options
- Rearden Commerce’s latest UI
- New tools in the meetings space from firms like Meetings Analytics, MeetingTrader, and SpeedRFP
Education sessions I’ll be at:
- Sunday’s all-day Travel Procurement Workshop (teaching)
- Monday morning’s session on Video Conferencing (panelist)
- Tuesday morning’s session on Hotel Sourcing (co-presenter)
There are lots of other great educational sessions…I’ll make as many as I can.
What are you going to check out? What would you like to me to report on?
Hope to see you there!

Hey Scot
We would love to have you come with us to the Astro’s game Monday night. If you don’t have plans, or want to stop by for a couple of innings send me an email or stop by our booth #400. Look forward to seeing you. Enjoy the show and Houston!
