Our Mission... The Puget Sound Business Travel Association (PSBTA) is the collective voice of business travel management in Western Washington. We provide a forum for the constructive exchange of information, education, and ideas among members. We are dedicated to enhancing the educational and professional advancement of the travel industry and our members. Our Membership... PSBTA members include 231 Washington business leaders who are responsible for supplying and purchasing travel related services. The annual travel expenditure of these companies exceeds $1.5 billion dollars. Direct members procure or manage business travel services for their corporation. Allied members provide travel services or products to direct members.  PSBTA is an affiliate of the National Business Travel Association New Officer Elections Coming in September June Meeting: Learn How to Take your Data to the Top Level Data Management - How would you like to take your data to the top level?  Would you like to report to your managers how they travel the same city pair as directors do?  Do managers spend more on Seattle-New York or do directors?  Did you pay a higher average nightly rate at that hotel than what you negotiated?  How can you handle data in a way that could help control spending even better than you already do? This is unrelated to your choice of tools but more about which data you put together and how creative you are in integrating it.  Vendors can make a big difference in your capabilities to provide actionable data to reduce spending.      PSBTA wishes to acknowledge and thank our sponsors:  Concur, SAS Scandinavian Airlines International, Travizon, Carlson Wagonlit Travel, Prestige Resorts and Destinations        NBTAPAC serves as the only Political Action Committee that represents the business travel community, and is a crucial element in NBTA’s success on Capitol Hill.  <MORE>
