GBTA | North Carolina

#ThrowbackThursday to an incredible 2024 GBTA Convention in Atlanta this past July! It was inspiring to see our chapters all together, each contributing their unique voice and energy. The power of our chapters lies in the impact we create at the grassroots level, connecting our local business travel communities while driving forward our collective voices as a global industry. "Many voices. One Purpose." isn’t just a motto; it’s the essence of how we collaborate. Whether it’s sharing best practices, tackling industry challenges, or fostering professional growth, our local chapters play a critical role in amplifying the global mission. Together, we are stronger, more unified, and better equipped to lead our industry into the future. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible. Your passion and dedication are the heartbeat of our collective success.
