ASTA Announces Hands on Technology Courses at WTC
Agents who attend the American Society of Travel Agents’ (ASTA) technology seminars at the World Travel Congress in Montréal, Nov. 6-11, 2005, will have the opportunity to take hands-on courses thanks to Trisept Solutions. Trisept is sponsoring the Technology Pavilion, which will contain 50 computers for attendees to use during the seminars and for delegates to use on a first-come, first-serve basis during the rest of the Congress.
“We are extremely excited that agents will be able to practice what they are learning during the technology seminars this year,” said ASTA President and CEO Kathryn W. Sudeikis, CTC. “The hands-on experience will prove to be an invaluable learning tool for ASTA agents, and we thank Trisept Solutions for its generous sponsorship.”
