Travel as Strategy: What PAs Need to Know in 2026
Business travel has become one of the most complex and high-impact areas PAs manage, touching cost control, risk, wellbeing, executive performance, and organisational reputation. Yet many PAs are still expected to operate tactically, without strategic context or authority.
This panel reframes travel as a strategic function. Moderated by Ian Jones, it demystifies today’s travel landscape and explains what has changed, why it matters, and where PAs can confidently influence outcomes. Topics include disruption, visas, duty of care, supplier decision-making, and how to ask better questions of travel partners.
Attendees will leave better equipped to move from reactive problem-solving to strategic travel oversight.
