Working Groups
ITM operates through regional committees and a series of central industry working parties. Each working party has a specific remit and contributes to the development of ITM's future strategy.
Regional Committees

Industry Affairs Working Party
Remit: To represent the interests of the buyer membership by engaging and lobbying legislative bodies in the UK and Ireland, EU and beyond.
Research Working Party
Remit: To develop and implement a research programme encompassing surveys and interviews on key industry issues to provide members with information for benchmarking and development.
Education Working Party
Remit: To develop a joint business travel degree, review the Professional Certificate programme, seminars, workshops and regional events to provide a comprehensive and varied programme for all levels of expertise.
Industry Solutions Group

In 2007, the remit of the ISG was to look at solutions for increasing SBT adoption. In 2006, the ISG looked at solutions for the disparity in managed travel programmes and compliance.
The “How To...” Working Groups
In 2009 ITM created three working groups to help drive content to specific groups of ITM members.
