Business Travel Show America New York City

The Business Travel Show America is a leading trade fair dedicated to the management and optimization of business travel. Held annually at the prestigious Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York, the event is the American counterpart to the long-established Business Travel Show Europe in London, which has been running for over 30 years. Tailored specifically for industry professionals such as travel managers, procurement officers, and meeting planners with annual travel budgets of at least five million US dollars, the event is organized by The BTN Group, part of the Northstar Travel Group—a global leader in the travel and tourism sector.

Business Travel Show America is distinguished by its highly specialized and practical focus on the latest challenges and trends in corporate travel management. Core topics include cost-reduction strategies, efficiency improvements, policy compliance, and the use of advanced data analytics and reporting tools to enhance travel programs. Technological innovation is another major emphasis, covering digital booking platforms, the application of artificial intelligence and automation in travel management, and mobile solutions that improve both the efficiency and comfort of business travel.

A defining feature of Business Travel Show America is its strong commitment to sustainability and responsible travel. This is reflected in initiatives such as CO₂ reduction programs, sustainable travel options, and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) strategies. The event also offers in-depth insights into safety and risk management, including crisis response, duty-of-care programs, and travel security and health tracking systems.

Forward-looking themes such as hybrid work models and their impact on business travel, as well as emerging travel concepts like “bleisure” (the combination of business and leisure), are explored in detail. These discussions aim to provide attendees with valuable insights and future-oriented ideas. A standout feature of the event is the “Business Travel Innovation Faceoff”, where up to twelve selected innovative solutions are showcased and awarded, setting new benchmarks across the industry.

Through interactive workshops, hands-on discussions with leading industry experts, and in-depth case studies, Business Travel Show America provides an ideal platform for knowledge exchange, effective networking, and the sharing of best practices. As a trade show exclusively open to industry professionals, it serves as a central meeting point for those seeking to optimize their business travel programs while gaining inspiration for the future of corporate travel.

The first edition and therefore the premiere of the Business Travel Show America takes place on 2 days from Wed., 15.10.2025 to Thur., 16.10.2025 in New York City.
