Wednesday 12 June 2019 – Twice a year, every year, personal travel managers (PTMs) from all over Australia come together for a series of state-based meetings, organised by TravelManagers’ National Partnership Office (NPO), that are designed to keep attendees updated on the direction of the company. Throughout the course of the day, participants gain insights as to what is happening at NPO, hear from suppliers and, perhaps most importantly in a network of 570 home-based consultants, enjoy opportunities to connect with their colleagues.
Held twice a year around the country, TravelManagers’ state meetings provide PTMs with a chance to reconnect with fellow PTMs and NPO team members. (L-R) Renee Millard, Michael Gazal, JP Boutefeu, Jose Cañas, Lyndy Burston, Leah McGrath.
