BUSINESS TRAVEL SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
THE THEME OF THE BUSINESS TRAVEL SHOW 2020 is conscious travel, with a new wellness activation and conference content focused around traveller health, as well as ethically and socially responsible travel sourcing and management.
NEW LAUNCH: THE WELLNESS RETREAT A haven of serenity where visitors can take time out while getting hands on with innovative wellness products and services designed to help them look after their travellers better.
NETWORKING Mingle with 9,000 peers from across Europe and beyond. From peer-to-peer and supplier networking sessions, to informal social events, buyers will build new relationships at the show and be given a chance to share knowledge and best practice.
HOSTED BUYER PROGRAMME In 2019, 425 hosted buyers from all over Europe attended the show and the average number of arranged meetings per buyer rose from 8.39 to 8.55.

SPECIALIST AREAS The International Hotel Village returns this year and includes leading global and local hotel providers. Elsewhere, the Airline Pavilion hosts a comprehensive line-up of global airlines while the BTA Pavilion brings many of its members to the Business Travel Show, including TMCs, airlines, car rental suppliers, and travel and expense management suppliers.
NEW LAUNCH: THE BUSINESS TRAVEL INNOVATION FACE-OFF Kickstarting both days of the show – eight disruptors will present to a select audience of 150 buyers. After seven minutes of uninterrupted airtime, they each face a four- minute Q&A from the judges, and then the mics are handed over to the audience for a no-holds-barred grilling. Two winners will be announced – one selected by the judges and one by buyers – at the show on Thursday, 27 February.
LAUNCHPAD AND START-UP PAVILION The Business Travel Launchpad celebrates its fifth anniversary and welcomes ten new business travel and meetings start-ups, hoping to follow in the footsteps of industry success stories Taptrip and Troop Travel.
FUTURE FORUM The Future Forum theatre returns bigger and better providing the backdrop to the show’s keynotes and supplier sessions focusing on the future of corporate travel, plus first day networking drinks sponsored by Sabre.
