The travel industry too understand and appreciate the importance of your role in booking travel and want to see more PAs and secretaries at the show. That's why DeskDemon has got together with the Business Travel Show at Olympia, London on 31st Jan – 2nd Feb to offer you some fantastic opportunities with an eye, as always, on saving you time and money.

Head down to DeskDemon's Café PA where members of the ITM will be on hand to offer you FREE impartial advice on your travel needs and to suggest the exhibitors' best suited to meet your individual requirements.

So, whether you're new to booking corporate travel or a seasoned expert, you'll learn new skills which will help you save time and your company money. And that's not all, to help you save that little bit extra on your expenses, we've negotiated an extra special discount for DeskDemon users of just £20.00 for each seminar or £40 per masterclass booked in advance!

How many times have you wandered around aimlessly at an exhibition until your feet are sore, arms laden with brochures and unsure of how much you've truly benefited from the event? To help you get the most from the Business Travel Show, we've created a printable guide designed to heighten your awareness of what your needs are (and those of your colleagues unable to visit) and identify how the show can meet them. Split into 'Before', 'During' and 'After' Show sections, this guide will assist you in identifying what you need to find out, before you visit the show, fact finding and networking at the event itself and reporting back to colleagues and actions afterwards.
