Business travel data and statistics at its global educational conference in Miami (May 6 – 8, 2007), through the latest in public polling technology will be presented by the Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE). Using wireless handsets from nTAG, conference participants from 36 countries, will engage speakers and presenters in a unique dialogue that can verify or rebut current thinking.
This is the second year that public polling devices are an integral part of ACTE conferences. The new service provided from nTAG will serve as an audience response device, ID badge, and a networking device that can save business and contact information. Chief among nTAG`s abilities is how information can be tabulated and presented.
The value of any information is in its timeliness, accuracy, and its pertinence to an issue. The polling device allows ACTE to measure responses and most importantly share the results, said ACTE`s Executive Director, Susan Gurley.
According to Gurley, topics will include the GDS issue in the U.S., the Computer Reservation System (CRS) issue in the EMEA, the Belgian Government Limosa regulation, the global issue of private equity investment in travel supplier companies and the impact on R&D expenditure, as well as emerging policy and political issues facing the corporate travel industry as expressed in keynote presentations.
The search for answers is seldom without detours, said Gurley. Sometimes you realize that you have more questions than answers. The system provided by nTAG will allow us to follow the logical information trail as the conference unfolds.
