NBTA

One of NBTA's prime objectives is to provide training and education to its buyer members to encourage professional development and promote best travel management practices. The Association does this by:

• organising regular local events in all cities and states where we have active NBTA committees.  Events include presentation of best practice case studies, business travel product launches, panel and discussion groups between travel industry representatives and buyers on topical and critical issues and general networking events; and
• organising the annual NBTA conference is NBTA’s major education initiative for the year. The association brings in expert speakers on a range of relevant topics and arranges a range of activities over the 2 day event, which is the leading industry event for business travel buyers.
  

The annual conference also incorporates the Qantas/NBTA Excellence Awards presentations at the annual awards gala dinner to recognise practitioners who have achieved excellence and implemented innovative and successful solutions in the business travel industry. Keeping members informed of business travel trends, changes and events via the NBTA Journal, e-News, website publications, case studies and white papers.
