Best Tech Show In The West

Business Travel News is launching a new national travel technology trade show, Travel Technology World, at this year's Corporate Travel West conference, May 20 and 21 at the LAX Hilton.

It's a hands-on opportunity to look at new end-to-end automation tools for booking, management reporting and expense processing and to focus on building travel sites for corporate intranets. Attendees will hear corporate pioneers and other travel technology experts assess how to evaluate these systems, which they can test at vendor workstations on a special exhibition floor.

While Travel Technology World will become a standalone show next year, this year it is the centerpiece in a three-ring extravaganza with Corporate Travel West and Meetings West. Keynote speaker is John Neilson, vice president of interactive service media for Microsoft.

Discounts are available to travel managers who bring their IS people. For more, call Jenifer Benowitz at 212-615-2274 or see www.btnonline.com.
