At the BTN Business Travel Trends & Forecasts event in Toronto, Areka Senior Consultant Brenda M. joined industry peers to explore one of the most difficult moments in a travel program’s lifecycle: recognizing when it’s time to change Travel Management Companies (TMCs) — and how to protect your business through the transition. In this blog, she shares how to recognize when it’s time to move on — and how to protect your organization through the transition.

At Areka, Meetings & Events (M&E) is one of our key practice lines — and we’re seeing a clear shift in how companies manage and deliver events worldwide. In our latest blog, Claudia Kusche, MICE Lead, shares insights on the trends redefining the M&E landscape — and how companies can adapt to a digital, data-driven, and deeply human future.
