Business trips come in all shapes and sizes. And, history is full of them. From landing on the moon to starting a movement, business trips may look different to an executive, a salesperson, an explorer, a scientist, a pioneer, but are united by one core truth.
We travel to get important things done.
In the run-up to the first-ever National Business Traveler Day on April 24, 2018, join us in celebrating business travelers both past and present by selecting the greatest “business trip” of all-time. We've taken a little creative liberty with what qualifies as a "business trip." But, just like your business trips, in every case, the mission was critical, the challenges were real, and there was a lot of pressure to deliver. Register to enter.
