Don’t miss what's launching in Chicago
FCM is bringing something new to GBTA 2026. Be among the first to see it.
Meet your program’s new plus one: Sam
AI-native travel management has landed. And it looks nothing like what you've seen before.
Sam is FCM's proprietary intelligence ecosystem, built from the ground up, not added on. Every booking, every policy decision, every traveler interaction, every insight. Connected, consistent, and genuinely intelligent.
Here’s just a snapshot of what Sam can do:
Always-on AI agents surface spend anomalies and compliance gaps the moment they emerge.
Connected to FCM Booking - talk to Sam about what you want to book, then click through with the trip details already filled in.
When a situation needs a human, your FCM consultant picks up in the same conversation, with full context - no repeating yourself.
And because we own the platform end-to-end and it’s built on an enterprise-grade security framework, your program data is never used to train shared AI models. It stays yours, always.
FCM Meetings & Events: From well-executed to unforgettable
The difference is in the details. From intimate executive dinners to multi-city conferences and incentive trips anywhere on the globe, FCM Meetings & Events sweats the small stuff so you can focus on the big picture.
- Strategic meetings management turns corporate events into ROI machines
- Creative event production crafts bold concepts with flawless delivery
- Incentive travel programs that inspire and reward
