ITM is the leading professional body for corporate travel management in the UK and Ireland. We are a not-for-profit, membership-led organisation, founded in 1956 to bring together professionals from all corners of the business travel industry. Our community includes travel buyers, suppliers, consultants, technology providers and service partners, working across a wide range of sectors including aviation, accommodation, ground transport, risk management and more.
We are proud to represent a diverse membership base of over 6,000 individuals, including 1,600+ corporate travel buyers. Our strength lies in this breadth of representation and the balanced dialogue it enables.
Our Pillars
Everything we do at ITM is built around four core pillars that define our mission and approach.
We CONNECT our members through meaningful
networking and peer engagement. We INFORM the
industry through curated insights, member feedback and expert commentary. We EDUCATE by offering learning opportunities, mentoring and
professional development. And we INSPIRE
innovation and thought leadership across the evolving landscape of business travel.
CONNECT
We foster genuine peer-to-peer connections through our networking events, local meets and community programmes. Whether it’s your first event or your fiftieth, you’re never alone in this industry.
INFORM
We share real-world insights drawn directly from our buyer community — helping you make data-led decisions with confidence. From benchmarking surveys to topical reports, ITM keeps you informed and in control.
EDUCATE
Learning never stops. Through webinars, workshops, mentoring and training, we help members upskill, adapt and thrive in an ever-changing travel landscape.
INSPIRE
We spark fresh thinking and challenge the status quo with future-focused events, wellbeing sessions and progressive discussions. ITM is where tomorrow’s travel leaders shape what’s next.
What We Do
Through a wide variety of initiatives, ITM supports members with the tools, knowledge and
relationships needed to thrive. This includes hosting conferences, local networking meets, specialist buyer
forums, digital events and an exclusive mentoring programme. We also champion the voice of the buyer,
delivering research, data and advocacy that helps shape the future of our industry.
Our work is guided by a committed and experienced Board of Directors and delivered by a
passionate core team. Together, we ensure that ITM’s programmes and services continue to meet the needs of
our growing community. You can learn more about our leadership on our dedicated Board page.
