Global business travel spend is forecast to climb 7.2% this year, hitting around $1.71 trillion, following an 8.4% jump in 2025, according to the Global Business Travel Association’s 2026 Business Travel Index (BTI), produced with Rockport Analytics. While the report, which tracks corporate travel spending and volume across 72 countries, reflects transient business travel rather than group meetings and events, the driving forces shaping that market — pricing pressure, geopolitical risk and shifting domestic/international sentiment — look awfully familiar to meeting and event planners.

Sheri Davies, VP of Global Accounts at the National Association of Postal Supervisors (NAPS) 2026 National Convention at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis, bringing together more than 1,500 attendees!

For Sheri, the event was also a special full-circle moment. Sheri connected with John Geter, her original client within NAPS more than 15 years ago—a wonderful reminder of the lasting relationships that make this industry so meaningful. Congratulations to NAPS on another successful National Convention!

What a fabulous site visit with Visit Lexington! 🐎🥃

We experienced the very best of Lexington—from getting up close with racehorses at Keeneland to sipping bourbon and enjoying some seriously delicious food. Such a fun way to experience this incredible destination!

A huge thank you to Visit Lexington for being such wonderful hosts and showing us what makes Lexington so special. 💙

A 400-plus-page proposal from the Office of Management and Budget wants to rewrite the rules governing how federal grant dollars can be spent on conferences, memberships and event services. If it takes effect as written on the scheduled October 1 date, planners who rely on federally funded attendees could be looking at a very different fall.
