Scott Graf, global president of BCD Meetings & Events (BCD M&E), has retired from the role after 26 years with the organisation.
In 1997, Graf joined McCord Corporate Travel in Chicago to begin its meetings and events division. Through an acquisition, the brand changed to WTMI (WorldTravel Meetings & Incentives) in 2001; and with the acquisition of TQ3 Travel Solutions in Europe and The Travel Company in the UK, BCD M&E was formed in 2006.
Graf will continue to support the BCD M&E leadership team and transition plan through the end of 2023, and after some time off, he will move into a new partnership with BCD founder John Fentener van Vlissingen in April 2024.
Bruce Morgan, BCD M&E’s former chief operating officer, has been named global president, effective immediately.
Morgan, based in Chicago but originally from the UK, brings to the role more than 30 years of industry experience across various functions and global regions – with nearly 20 of those years within BCD M&E. BCD M&E’s COO since 2019, Morgan has also held roles throughout his career within sales and marketing management, global event management, sports marketing, performance improvement and regional leadership.
