The Association of Travel Management Companies (ATMC) announced the appointment of David Goldman as Chairperson for 2026, succeeding Penny Spencer, who has served in the role throughout the past year.

David steps into the position at a pivotal moment for Australia’s corporate travel sector, as shifting distribution models, rapid technology adoption and evolving corporate expectations continue to redefine the industry landscape.

“As corporate travel evolves at pace, the need for strong advocacy, aligned partnerships and a unified industry voice has never been greater,” said Goldman.

“ATMC exists to ensure our members are informed, supported and represented with clarity and purpose. Together, we will help shape a future that is strategic, innovative and resilient,” he added.

 Representing a significant share of Australia’s corporate travel activity, ATMC brings together the nation’s leading Travel Management Companies (TMCs) to collaborate with airlines, hotels, technology partners and stakeholders across the supply chain. 

 The association focuses on addressing structural industry challenges, providing timely market insights, championing best practice and promoting the strategic value TMCs deliver to organisations across the country. Most recently, ATMC’s partnership with the Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) which came into effect in the last two weeks, has strengthened the collective voice of TMCs and brings additional benefits to ATMC’s members.  

 ATMC membership offers companies a platform for influence, enabling them to participate in meaningful dialogue, help drive policy outcomes, and connect with peers through regular forums and shared learning initiatives. 

“As we enter 2026, ATMC’s role is more important than ever. I invite all TMCs to join us as we lead the next chapter for our industry,” Goldman added.
