IFTM 2026: Optimise your Travel & Expense programme with Odyssey
Join us at IFTM 2026 to discuss Travel & Expense Management: Odyssey will be at stand B088 in the Business Club from 15 to 17 September. We’ll be there to talk to the professionals who manage travel and expense programmes on a day-to-day basis. Business travel management is one of the most significant areas of expenditure for companies. It is also one of the most challenging to manage over the long term. With a multitude of suppliers, IT challenges, an international dimension, travellers’ rising expectations and CSR requirements, professionals managing this area know full well that optimising a T&E programme is a never-ending process.
It is precisely this belief that we will be sharing atIFTM 2026, from 15 to 17 September, at our stand B088 in the Business Club. At Odyssey, we believe that any business travel management programme can always benefit from a fresh perspective — and that the input of a specialist external perspective can make a real difference, regardless of your organisation’s stage of development.
Whether you’re a Travel Manager, Procurement Director, HR Director or Finance Director, these three days offer a rare opportunity to take the time to discuss what really matters: your T&E programme, where it stands today, and where you’d like to take it in the future.
Our Travel & Expense support for IFTM 2026: the entire value chain, from strategy to the front line
Ever since we were founded, Odyssey has chosen to specialise exclusively in Travel & Expense Management. We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach, nor are we dependent on any particular software provider or TMC: our sole guiding principle is the best interests of our clients, whatever stage they are at.
Our belief is simple: an effective T&E programme is not built in a single step. It is developed, adapted and consolidated over time. That is why our seven support services cover the entire lifecycle of a business travel management programme:
Before the project
- Strategy: defining your target model and your T&E roadmap
- Audit & market research: analysis of the current situation, benchmarking and identification of areas for improvement
- Tender process: selecting your TMC, OBT and expense management tool partners
During deployment
- Roll-out: managing the implementation of your travel and expenses solutions
- Change management: supporting teams and ensuring user adoption
In the long term
- Operations Continuity & Support: Ensuring your programme’s performance after go-live
- Outsourcing your Travel Manager role: ensuring the continuity of your T&E function, even during a transition or when you have a one-off requirement
This comprehensive service enables us to work with you at your current stage, without imposing a project-based approach. Some clients approach us to help frame a strategic decision. Others call on us to ensure the smooth running of an ongoing roll-out. Still others contact us to ensure business continuity during a staff transition. In every case, our approach remains the same: to understand your context, build on what is working well, and offer you practical ways to take things further.
