International SOS and ACTE Offer Webinar, White Paper on Lessons Learned From Ash Cloud Crisis

WHAT:

Duty of Care Strategy Briefing: Every Ash Cloud Has a Silver Lining, a complimentary webinar open to press and the public.

WHY:

The ash cloud crisis dispelled the myth, "It can't happen to me." Although the event was not initially seen as a financial, reputational, medical or security crisis, it quickly demonstrated to senior leadership the value of having travel executives as key contributors to the crisis and business continuity teams, and of having an integrated, travel risk management program.

Based on an industry white paper co-sponsored by the Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE) and International SOS, this webinar will reveal lessons learned by travel professionals and provide practical tips on how to:

• Mitigate existing risks and identify gaps within the organization.

• Improve future collaboration with internal stakeholders.

• Build an effective program utilizing existing and external resources.

• Learn from research findings and improve preparation for the next crisis. 

The related white paper will be distributed to all webinar registrants following the event.
