GBTA Upstate New York Chapter was formed in 1990 by a group of Corporate Travel Managers and Suppliers who found a need to educate, benchmark, and bond together to share corporate travel management best practices, as well as keep abreast of travel industry education and issues. GBTA Upstate New York Chapter is committed to enhancing the business travel profession by sponsoring educational and informational programs for its members, and by providing top-rated speakers to address travel-related issues, concerns, and current "hot topic" items. GBTA Upstate New York Chapter is an excellent venue for the sharing of travel-related information and professional expertise, and is an organization focused on perfecting the science of business travel management.
