One look at the screening room at the Cinémathèque française was enough to realise that this second Concur Fusion Exchange Paris more than achieved its objectives. French and European business travel professionals responded to Concur's invitation, as Scott Torrey, Concur's Vice President and General Manager EMEA, explained: "This is the biggest Fusion event we have organised in Europe". Buoyed by the record attendance - 700 registrants according to the organisers - Concur took advantage of the event to induct three new partners into the TripLink ecosystem. These included Capitaine Train, which already boasts almost 40% business travellers using its intuitive rail booking platform. Voyages-sncf's competitor should therefore extend its hold on the business travel segment, thanks to the synchronisation of data with Concur's platform. The outlook is equally promising for Business Table, the business meal management solution that already boasts more than 200,000 users, and for Citybird, a specialist in motorbike taxi transport. Other players in the Concur ecosystem include Airbnb and Uber - both of which were represented on the Fusion Exchange stage on Tuesday. - which testify to Concur's efforts to adapt to the new booking practices of business travellers.
