The new non-profit association will be headquartered in Brussels. Its 13 founding members have joined forces to give business travel buyers a stronger voice in Europe.
It is with heavy hearts that we have come to a decision to postpone the Nordic Business Travel Summit by a year. The pandemic situation is not getting better anytime soon, and running an event of the NBTS caliber just does not seem the right thing to do in early 2022.
New chair is Bobbi Djordjevic, Global Category Manager for Meetings, events and Tradeshows at Dentsply Sirona. The new vice Chair will be Mats Lagerholm, Global Travel Manager at Essity Hygiene and Health AB. SBTA General Manager Lotten Fowler said of the appointments: ”It will be exciting to work together with the new board to continue to develop and adjust SBTA to a changing business travel landscape. The pandemic has hit our industry hard, and we need to work together to find a sustainable way back.”
The Nordic Business Travel Associations have for the 3rd time asked Buyer members on how they see travel affected by the pandemic. This time questions about “work from home” and COVID-19 “passports” were added.
