ITM Plans International Forum By Telepresence

Asked for his thoughts on the National Business Travel Association's annual convention that ended Wednesday, the executive director of the British/Irish Institute of Travel & Meetings revealed plans for an international travel buyer forum to be conducted by telepresence in early 2010. "We hope to attract a number of high-level U.S. buyers," according to written comments by Paul Tilstone, who indicated a "difference in the approach" between ITM and NBTA.
