<li><b><u>Concur/Travel Roundtable</u></b></li></span></font>
</ul>
<div style="margin-top:18pt;margin-bottom:18pt;padding-left:36pt;"><font face="Arial">The UO Travel Office hosts a monthly Concur Roundtable for Concur travel delegates and travelers on the <b>first</b> Wednesday of each month. It’s an opportunity to meet your
peers and share best practices, stay informed about changes and updates, and provide feedback related to Concur and UO travel.</font></div>
<div style="text-indent:36pt;margin-top:18pt;margin-bottom:18pt;"><font face="Arial"><b>Date: Wednesday, December 4th, 2024 ** Time: 11:00 AM to Noon </b></font></div>
<div style="margin-top:18pt;margin-bottom:18pt;padding-left:36pt;"><font face="Arial">I am sure you have heard the saying, “Measure Twice, Cut Once” and December’s Travel Roundtable will be dedicated to this idea as it applies to the trip planning process!
Taking the time to know what the traveler needs for their trip and having plans in place for how to reserve and purchase these items will be a time saver when using Concur Request and Booking Tool, working with the travel agent, and creating the expense report.
Please join the Travel Office team as we explore the right questions to ask during the pre-travel planning process to scout out the pitfalls and make a plan (or two). Feel free to bring your ideas to share with your peers!</font></div>
