As a BATM member, you can count on the right support to realize the full potential of your travel program. We provide you with the most recent information on new developments, regulation, legislation and evolutions in the industry, through our online and offline channels.
Our industry changes at a rapid pace. Following the trends is one thing, applying them in your day-to-day activities is another. We actively share practical tips and tricks, to ensure Belgian travel professionals can stay ahead of the game.
Nearly 200 Belgian business travel professionals, with corporate and/or supplier backgrounds, are a member of BATM today. This means 200 peers who are more than happy to share their stories, experiences and solutions with you. They gather every 3 months during one of our networking or educational events.
Networking is key for our association, so BATM encourages all its members to invite colleagues and clients to join our community. We offer all Corporate buyers and potential new Supplier members the opportunity to experience the BATM Community, but we always use the 50/50 ratio.
What does that mean?
Well it’s pretty simple: the percentage of Supplier Members can never exceed 50% of the total BATM Membership base. This also means that any new Supplier members must introduce at least one new Corporate Buyer to join our community.
Happy networking!
