The Future of Travel Risk Management
How emerging global trends will impact travel and what companies can do to stay ahead. From political instability to climate change and rising insurance claims, this session explores how travel businesses can future-proof their operations through proactive risk planning.
Travel Risk Management in Action
Behind the scenes of a major field incident response. A real-world case study of how a leading humanitarian organisation responded to a high-impact incident abroad, providing organisations with key lessons for those working in remote, high-risk, or logistically challenging destinations.
Medical Panel: Beyond Primary Care
What every organisation should have in place before departure. Medical and assistance experts explore how all companies can better prepare for unexpected health issues abroad, including traveller screening, remote support, field medical kits and understanding in-country healthcare capabilities.
Exclusive Foreign Office (FCDO) Briefing
Insights and updates on global travel risks and government support. A rare opportunity to hear directly from senior FCDO representatives on the current global threat landscape, government support channels for UK travellers, and future areas of concern.
Security Panel: From Policy to Practice
Building an effective security strategy that works in the real world. Travel security experts discuss how organisations can move beyond theory to create realistic, scalable and operational security processes that genuinely protect travellers and customers.
Repatriation Realities
When the worst happens abroad, what organisations need to know. This session explores the often-overlooked topic of international repatriation. Organisations will receive sensitive but critical case studies, providing insights into the logistics, communication, and support they should have in place should a fatality ever occur abroad.
Crisis in the Wild
A veteran in adventure travel and medical assistance will share a detailed case study of a serious incident that occurred during an adventure travel tour. Attendees will learn about how it was handled, what went wrong, and how the client recovered. Full of practical takeaways for DMCs, tour operators and risk managers.
Preparing Your People for Health & Security Abroad
An International Risk Management and Healthcare provider will present practical strategies for integrating medical and security risk planning into organisations. From pre-deployment briefings and traveller tracking to real-time incident support. Ideal for companies balancing duty of care with the reality of complex itineraries.
Evening Networking Drinks Reception
Network with fellow attendees and LATA members in a relaxed setting to round off the day. A great chance to discuss the sessions, ask informal questions to experts, and build relationships with peers across the industry.
