Yesterday, NATM | Netherlands Association for Travel Management welcomed its members to the second NATM Member Meeting of 2026 at Van der Valk Hotel Amersfoort A1.

During the General Assembly, members unanimously reappointed Treasurer Jochem Hemink for a new three-year term, a strong sign of trust and continuity within the association.

The afternoon focused on one key question: how do we continue to demonstrate the strategic value of managed travel programmes in an increasingly complex environment?

A special thank you to o-Anne Lloyd for an inspiring keynote on “Reframing the Value of Managed Travel Programs in a Challenging Environment”. The session explored the growing importance of stakeholder engagement, risk management, AI, financial visibility and strategic positioning of travel programmes within organisations.

Members also participated in an interactive workshop led by Ian Jones B.E.M. based on The Hundred, temoji consulting’s research project built on 100 in-depth interviews with supplier leaders across the global business travel industry. Discussions covered topics including AI, people & talent, NDC and content fragmentation, sustainability pressures and the future strategic role of travel management.

A sincere thank you to General Manager Marlijn van der Valk and the entire team of Van der Valk Hotel Amersfoort A1 for the warm hospitality and excellent support throughout the day.

Another valuable afternoon of insights, discussion and connection with the NATM community.

💼 Is your travel programme ready for the CFO conversation?

For professionals responsible for travel management, corporate travel or business travel, including Travel, Procurement, HR, Finance and EA/PA roles, the shift from reporting spend to proving business impact is no longer a future challenge — it is the conversation happening in boardrooms today.

During the NATM Member Meeting on 18 May, we will discuss how travel managers can reframe the value of their programme in a challenging environment, including:

📊 the gap between activity reporting and stakeholder impact — and how to close it
🤖 what AI will (and will not) take over — and what that means for your role 💶 how to speak the CFO's language: ROI, revenue enablement and risk-adjusted returns
🌍 real-world reframes from global firms that turned crisis into strategy and cost into investment
🎯 the Travel Program Impact Index: where does your programme stand?

This session supports both strategic repositioning and practical decision-making for travel professionals navigating increasing scrutiny from senior stakeholders.
