About GBTA

The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) is the association for business travel and meetings, with operations on six continents. The convention is where that community meets, and the convention website is how sponsors, speakers, and exhibitors find their place in it.

Consulting for the convention website

We provided consulting in support of the GBTA Convention website, on DNN Evoq, the content platform formerly called DotNetNuke.

  • DNN training for GBTA's marketing and IT staff, so the people who run the event can run the site.
  • Custom module development for behavior the standard CMS does not ship with.
  • DNN skin design and development, the look of the convention site.
  • Hosting infrastructure consulting for where the site runs.

What a convention site has to make obvious

  • Sponsors. Companies paying to be part of the event need a clear presence and a way for attendees to find them.
  • Speakers. The program is the reason many people attend. Sessions and speakers have to be easy to scan.
  • Exhibitors. The show floor has its own audience. Exhibit information has to sit with the rest of the event, in the same design.
  • A site staff can update. Dates, sponsors, and the program change as the convention gets closer. Training is how marketing and IT keep publishing after we leave the build.
