Speakers:

"Ethics , Compliance and Duty of Care within the Business Travel Industry"

Ross Bernstein, Award Winning Keynote Speaker

The best-selling author of nearly 50 sports books, Ross Bernstein is an award-winning peak-performance hall of fame business speaker who’s keynoted conferences on four continents for audiences as small as 10 and as large as 10,000. Ross has spent the better part of the past 20 years studying the DNA of championship teams and his passion is helping organizations perform like CHAMPIONS. Ross and his books have been featured on thousands of television and radio programs including CNN, CBS This Morning, FOX News, Bloomberg, ESPN, as well as in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, USA Today & Maxim Magazine. 

Ross’ signature program, "The Champion's Code: Building Relationships Through Life Lessons of  Integrity and Accountability from the Sports World to the Business World" is based largely on the “Good to Great” ideology of how the best companies are able to separate themselves from the rest of the pack through dynamic leadership, by creating a culture of excellence, and by giving extraordinary customer service, Ross’ program reinforces the concept that individuals win games, but TEAMS win championships. Momentum, roles, buy-in, motivation, consistency, sacrifice, trust, chemistry, work-ethic, innovation, karma, and being humble — they’re all a part of what it takes to become the best of the best — a CHAMPION both on and off the field.

"Most Recent Business Travel Trends and How to influence Business Travel Behavior"

Tom Ruesink, International Travel Consultant

As a consultant, the term meaningful engagement strikes two chords for me. I seek out consulting projects that are truly trying to drive a meaningful outcome and move the bar in the industry forward a bit. In addition, I am of the strong belief that employees and consumers want to do the right thing and often it is our challenge to create that digestible, impactful, interesting story and clear path so that they have a meaningful engagement with whatever system is being designed.
