Based on the popular TV show Shark Tank, Suppliers get the chance to bring their products before GBTA Arizona Business Travel Association audience and our “Sharks” (Travel Managers) who have open minds and discerning eyes when it comes to travel innovations. Through interaction on stage between the pitches and the Sharks, our audience will have the chance to explore new concepts and services in business travel in a professional, dynamic and fun environment. The companies will be trying to convince any one of the travel managers to invest implementation time in their idea.

We are raising funds for scholarships so that our members can continue their ongoing education to further their career. In addition, we are donating a percentage of our proceeds to Canine Companions for Independence, a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained assistant dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships for adults, children, veterans, and professionals.
