ASTA’s Young Professionals Society (YPS) will again be holding its annual Member’s Only Day on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2011 at the Topicana Las Vegas.
This full-day program, offering participants networking, mastermind roundtables and industry topic discussions, is organized in conjunction with ASTA’s Travel Retailing & Destination Expo (Sept. 11-13). The event offers today’s young travel professional career-strengthening education and networking opportunities, as well as a chance to relax and mingle with their peers at special YPS events.
“Events such as the YPS Member’s Only Day only serve to reinforce ASTA’s position as a leader when it comes to attracting younger people to our industry, while still providing those already in the industry with the tools they need to become the leaders of tomorrow,” said Tony Gonchar, ASTA CEO.
The day will kick off with a welcome for YPS members, followed by a session examining the Secrets to a Mutually Beneficial Advisor / Supplier Relationship. Following the lunch break, the group will reconvene for three afternoon sessions: Branding and Visibility for Travel Agents; Building a Branding Plan - Mastermind Session; and Finding the Next Generation - Developing a Modern Job Description for Travel Advisors.
