Join FCM @ GBTA + VDR + ABTA Conference 2026
Corporate travel in 2026 needs a better operating system.
One that connects people, platforms, and intelligence seamlessly. One that learns from every interaction and gets smarter over time. One that puts human expertise at the centre, with technology amplifying what matters most.
In Vienna, FCM is demonstrating what happens when technology meets the human touch to fit the travel programme, not the other way around.

Integrating the Journey: Unlocking Value Across Travel, Meetings & Mobility
4 November · 10:00–11:00 · Main Stage with Jo Lloyd, Chief Customer Officer
The role of the travel manager is changing. As organisations look to connect travel, meetings, mobility and expense into a single picture, the people leading those programmes are becoming strategic orchestrators — not just operators. Join Jo and a panel of industry leaders to explore what integrated travel looks like in practice, and how to deliver measurable business impact across the whole journey.
Make the Value Visible: A Practical Toolkit for Travel Managers
4 November · 11:30–12:15 · Education Room G1 with Gemma King, Global Practice Lead
Travel managers are under more pressure than ever to demonstrate the value of their programme — to procurement, finance, and the wider business. Join Gemma for a practical session designed to help travel managers build the business case, speak the language of the boardroom, and turn programme performance into a story that lands.
Understand how your travel programme's performing
From strategic clarity to day-to-day execution, FCM Consulting helps travel programmes close the gap between where they are and where they could be.
The Travel Impact Index is a free assessment that evaluates how your programme is performing against six key pillars of your travel programme.
Stop by our GBTA Europe stand to discuss your Travel Impact Index results with our consultants - and walk away with insights you can actually use.
Discover how you can reimagine travel bookings
Business travel planning shouldn't feel like a second job.
With FCM's booking capabilities, your travellers and bookers can choose between a conversation with Sam, FCM Booking on OBT, direct with a consultant, or even through your company's Teams and Slack.
And no matter what you choose, it's all policy-aligned.
Meet your programme’s new intelligence plus one: Sam
- AI-native travel management has landed. Sam is a proprietary digital assistant built on FCM's intelligence ecosystem to handle the complexity of managed travel.
- Contextual booking: Talk to Sam about your travel plans, then click through to your OBT with the trip details already filled in.
- Seamless support: When a situation needs a human, a consultant picks up in the exact same conversation with full context. No repeating yourself.
- Enterprise-grade security: Programme data stays yours. It's never used to train shared AI models.
Business travel insights for you.
