Featuring industry experts, travel buyers, trade journalists, and a selection of business travel movers and shakers, our casual breakfast event has grown to become the unofficial place to be for those looking to kick off their trip to Denver, Colorado, in style.<\/p>\n
It’s a breakfast with a burgeoning reputation. Invites to attend have become a hot ticket around the convention grounds – this year, around 70 people joined us to talk about the future of business travel, their hopes for the industry, the top trends and talking points, and everything in between.<\/p>\n
In this article, we spoke to our VP of Global Sales, Julian Munsey, who attended the breakfast and GBTA 2025, to find out the key takeaways and talking points.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”#sustainability” button_text=”Read More” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Denver-Colorado-WEB.jpg” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”76vh||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”rgba(0,0,0,0.6) 0%|rgba(0,0,0,0.6) 100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”on” background_image=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Overhead-Solar-Panel-WEB.jpg” parallax=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_id=”sustainability” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”50px” custom_margin=”5%||8%||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n 1\ufe0f\u20e3<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”35px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We found that sustainability remained a dominant item on the business travel agenda.
