A Driving Force Behind Business and Social Change.
Please join the TAG International Business Society (IBS) and the Association of Telecommunications Professionals (ATP) as we host our joint event focusing on Global Technology Innovation. At this joint event, you will have the opportunity to expand your professional network as well as hear from Atlanta-based leaders who operate daily in the international technology environment.
Our global technology executives from Orange Business Services, UPS, @International Services, and IHG will be sharing their perspectives based on their experience in international markets and answering questions from the audience.
Come prepared to hear from these leaders regarding case examples, best practices, guiding principles, and feedback on what did and didn't work regarding their international perspectives. In addition, we are planning for a highly interactive session that will feature questions and feedback from the audience.
This is a must attend event for anyone who has an international scope in their current role or anyone who collaborates with international business partners such as outsourcing providers. Special guests will also include our joint members from locally based International Consulates, Chambers, and Trade Offices.
We look forward to seeing you there.
