Our latest GBTA Texas Chapter monthly meeting tackled one of the most pressing and complex topics facing organizations today: the current immigration situation.

Key takeaway from our expert panel: No matter the size of your company, immigration processes are highly complex. To navigate them successfully while saving both time and money having a dedicated expert in your corner isn't just a luxury; it’s a strategic necessity.

Huge thanks to our panel for the eye-opening insights!

Shoutout to the stunning Le Méridien Houston Downtown for hosting us. The service was flawless, and the culinary experience was absolutely top-tier. ✨

Don't miss out the next week GBTA Texas meeting!

Are mega mergers across airlines, hotel groups, GDSs, and travel technology firms reshaping the market by concentrated control over content distribution and data access into fewer hands?

While consolidation can drive scale and innovation, it often blurs the distinction between unbiased content and commercially influenced offerings, making it harder for stakeholders to understand what content they are seeing—and what may be missing.

Join Gold Spring Consulting Partner, Neil Hammond lead panel experts Brett Dowling, VP of Revenue for North America at Serko, and Steven van Overmeiren, Garner Associates Consultant and Hank Benedetti the Chief Commercial Officer of Blockskye in a discussion focused on how industry consolidation is changing the realities of travel content, increasing complexity, and redefining transparency, trust, and value in managed travel programs.

04/30/2026

Join GBTA | Texas next week at the Hyatt House The Woodlands Shenandoah for a powerhouse discussion on industry consolidation.

We’re moving past the headlines to tackle the "new reality" of travel content, rising complexity, and how to redefine value and trust in your managed program.

Don’t miss out and registee.
