Interactive Breakout, entitled 'Tools For The Trade,' subtitled 'Selling
Isn't Selling When You're Helping Them Buy.'
With the capable assistance of select travel trade supplier partners,
Mark Peterson of Itineraries Minnesota will lead an interactive breakout
for show exhibitors on Sunday evening, October 26th. Expect it to be filled
with ideas for "selling" to group travel planners, and you'll
learn of some unusual new sales tools that can capture the attention of
buyers, and influence them to visit your destination. Mark will also bring
you up to speed concerning ITINERARIES MIDWEST, with exciting news for upper
Midwest and central Canadian group travel suppliers. Don't miss this
learning opportunity as you meet and network with new itinerary partners
from throughout the region!
Time will be allowed to set-up your exhibit booths. Snacks and beverages
