TravelManagers' state meetings in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth – the culmination of many state-based events throughout the year – allowed colleagues, head office and key suppliers to catch up and reflect on the year and plan for 2024.

TravelManagers’ state meetings in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth – the culmination of many state-based events throughout the year – allowed colleagues, head office and key suppliers to catch up and reflect on the year and plan for 2024.

Personal travel managers (PTMs) heard updates for TravelManagers in 2024 and also celebrated the achievements of the year at informative and festive state events.

The Vibe Hotel Sydney was the venue for the final state meeting of 2023 for NSW- and ACT-based PTMs who heard updates from the National Partnership Office (NPO) departments before enjoying a Christmas function attended by partner suppliers.
