Welcome 



Thank you for registering for the 

2nd annual GBTA Oil, Gas & Marine 

Travel Symposium. We look forward 

to welcoming you to Rotterdam on 

24th October 2012. 

The content for this event is driven 

by you, our delegates, more than 

any other in the GBTA Europe 

calendar. Following the feedback 

from last year’s inaugural (and very 

successful) Oil, Gas and Marine 

Travel Symposium we have created 

an exciting programme looking 

at air fares; duty of care; travel 

policy from both the corporate and 

traveller perspective. We also have 

an Innovation Hour at which our 

expert panel will discuss solutions 

to your most pressing issues. 

As a delegate at this event you 

will also receive a link to two new 

GBTA White Papers specifically 

designed for this market. This paper 

on payment issues, and a second 

paper designed for GBTA members 

globally in this sector on Duty of 

Care, have been created in response 

to requests at last year’s event. 

Naturally, the quality of our event 

relies on professional attendees, 

but I would also like to thank 

our sponsors and our speakers, 

without whom we would be unable 

to provide an event like this. We 

hope you find our programme 

stimulating, the White Papers 

informative and also take this 

opportunity to network with your 

colleagues from across Europe and 

beyond. 

#OGM2012

to the event please contact

Kind regards

Antitrust Reminder 

GBTA supports competition law 

compliance and manages its 

activities to avoid competition 

law breaches. Many activities 

among competitors are both 

legal and beneficial to society 

and the industry. This includes 

the networking, educational, 

professional development, research, 

and advocacy functions provided 

by GBTA. Some group activities, 

however, such as boycotts, market 

allocation and price fixing, are 

inherently suspect under the 

antitrust laws.

and competition laws. GBTA’s
