The Business Travel Show will gather a diverse array of partners from sectors including air travel, hotels, ground transportation, meetings, payments, and data analytics. To encourage productive engagement, structured one-on-one meetings will be facilitated. Travel buyers, bookers, managers, procurement professionals, and executive assistants can register for free until October 14, 2025, at 6:00 pm ET.
The overarching goal of the event is to create opportunities for buyers and suppliers to discover innovations, assess successes, and forge valuable partnerships all under one roof. Louis Magliaro, EVP and Group Publisher of The BTN Group, has noted the growing anticipation within the buyer and supplier community as the event date approaches.
A range of innovative tools will be presented at the Business Travel Show, including a per-diem calculator designed to optimize travel management. Notably, Hyatt Hotels Corp. is set to introduce a new initiative that will allow for instant online booking of meeting spaces and guest rooms, anticipated to launch in early 2026. Additionally, Groupize.ai has upgraded its Aime AI agent, further underscoring advancements in meetings technology.
Confidence within the meetings and events sector is reportedly on the rise, though escalating costs pose a significant challenge. Numerous related events are scheduled at different venues, emphasizing the show’s impact across the industry landscape. Furthermore, Delta Air Lines is expanding its European flight schedule, introducing a new daily service from New York to Porto starting May 21, 2026.
Traditional business travel hubs like New York City are encountering competition as organizations explore more cost-effective alternatives for meetings. Cities like Tampa and Charlotte are gaining traction, while Nashville and Denver are also becoming attractive due to growth in key industries and appealing amenities. Tampa, in particular, has seen notable increases in hotel prices, reflecting its emergence as a tech hub following the pandemic.
A recent study by Deloitte reveals that businesses plan to ramp up corporate travel spending while simultaneously searching for cost-effective options in light of rising expenses. Charlotte and Orlando are emerging as trending business travel destinations, witnessing substantial increases in corporate travel demand.
The Business Travel Show America is poised to be a cornerstone event for the travel industry, offering a comprehensive platform for buying, selling, and networking within the corporate travel space in a fast-evolving market.
