Happening Now! GovTravels 2025 Symposium

More than 1,250 professionals from across the spectrum of US government travel agencies and industries are gathered for the GovTravels 2025 Symposium at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center Hotel in Alexandria, Va., Feb. 24-27.

This is the highest number of attendees ever registered for GovTravels, which is co- sponsored by the National Defense Transportation Association (NDTA) and the Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO), in association with the General Services Administration (GSA), and the NDTA Government Passenger Travel Advisory Council (GPTAC) and its committees.

This year’s theme, “Change Management: Challenges & Solutions in Government Travel,” focuses on the need for government and industry leaders to effectively manage change, employing creative and innovative solutions to provide government passengers with world-class travel. Attendees absorbed valuable new information in today’s general session and keynote presentation on “AI Transformation in the Travel Industry: Current Trends and Future Opportunities,” by Mr. Del Ross, McKinsey & Company, followed by networking breaks for post-session discussions, visiting with exhibitors, and making new connections.

The April issue of DTJ will feature a GovTravels wrap-up highlighting keynote speakers, roundtables, exhibitors, Travel Academy news, and more. Stay tuned!
