BUSINESS BOOMING: GBTA gets to work in Toronto

Evidently business is good. That’s certainly the conclusion that one can draw judging by the upbeat mood and chatter that energized the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) Canada’s 9th annual conference that’s taking place in Toronto this week. The event welcomed 425 attendees — a record turnout — and more than 55 exhibitors for the show’s trade show segment. “Year-after-year, this conference exceeds expectations,” observed GBTA Canada president, Tanya Racz. “GBTA Canada brings the best and the brightest professionals from across Canada and around the world together annually at this event for unparalleled networking opportunities and premium learning forums that benefit our delegates and their companies for many years to come.” Seen here, from l to r, are United Airlines’ Michele Richards with GBTA Canada president Tanya Racz.
