Past Attendee Feedback

We asked Corporate Travel Managers (industry buyers) to "share your overall impressions of the conference" after attending last year's ACTE Global Corporate Travel Conference in Atlanta and here is what they said:

 


- "ACTE is where I choose to spend my
 money - that says it all!"
- "It is a conference that I make time for."
- "Amazingly polished, full of energy and excitement, but more than anything the conference projects a very professional
demeanor and professionalism where
corporate travel is the primary subject."
- "Simply Fantastic!"
- "Impressive in every way."
-"Excellent - focused - educational - time
well spent!"
   
 
First Time Buyer Attendees said:
- "It was my first conference and I found it to be extremely beneficial and educational."
- "This was my first ACTE conference and I was impressed about the perfect organization and the variety of the topics and speeches."
- "This was my first ACTE conference and I walked away feeling like this was time well spent. Great education and networking opportunities. GREAT JOB ACTE!"


 





- "Good balance of sell side/buy side."
- "Very good ratio buyer to suppler and the
right audience."
- "I thought ACTE was a great conference
and I continue to gain new contacts
and insight as to driving my
organization forward. This has
 truly been impactful for me."
- "There's too much content / people
to get to during the 2.5 days, which
 is probably a good sign."





- “The feeling I had coming away from the conference - have not felt this positive about the industry in a long time.”
- “The breakout sessions were great!”

“I especially enjoy the mix of travel related and professional development related topics."
“The table talks was GREAT.”
“Educational session were all great with information I could put to use.”

the high quality education. Very
well organized."

 with over 30 years of travel industry
experience I always learn so much when
I attend an ACTE conference...thank you."
- "Excellent conference and I will be
getting more involved with ACTE."
