Travel Support
Comprehensive travel management for federal events, from flights and lodging to visas and per diem.
Getting the right people to the right place on time, within budget and within federal travel rules, is what makes an event work. PSA’s travel professionals support more than 2,000 international attendees each year, and we have booked hundreds of thousands of airline tickets and millions of hotel rooms over four decades. When plans change, we find solutions, whether that’s adding an attendee a day before an international event or rerouting around a canceled flight.

Part of a complete event program
Travel support works on its own or alongside our event management and language services, so one team coordinates the whole event.
“Thank you so much for your herculean efforts to arrange the lodging at per diem for the delegates as well as our agency partners. PSA has my utmost appreciation for going above and beyond your duties to help.”
