Avoya Travel has long cemented a reputation as a host agency leader when it comes to cutting-edge educational programs. Because Avoya places such a high premium on education, it should come as no surprise that the company is participating – and in a big way – at the Agent@Home Summits in Long Beach and Atlantic City.

“Avoya Travel is participating in the Agent @ Home Travel Summit because we see this as a valuable educational forum for travel professionals,” said Scott Koepf, Avoya Travel’s senior vice president of sales. “Our executives will be participating in the workshops and sessions to share their industry experience and insights, as well as to learn from other industry leaders. Our staff will be available to speak with travel professionals about affiliating their agency with Avoya Travel and answer any questions.”

In Long Beach, Avoya will be exhibiting on the trade show floor at booth #141. “Travel professionals can visit us to learn more about the advantages Avoya Travel offers as a host agency, including Live Leads, American Express Travel benefits, and more,” said Koepf.

On Sept. 17, Brad Anderson, Avoya president, will deliver the summit’s keynote address. Avoya will also participate in the Where Technology, Sales and Marketing Meet seminar on Sept. 16. Koepf will host the Tune Up Your Business on Sept. 17 and share tips and best practices at the Town Hall meeting on Sept. 18.

Additionally, Avoya be exhibiting on the trade show floor in Atlantic City. It will participate in the keynote panel on Oct. 1 and the Town Hall meeting on Oct. 2. Koepf will also present the Tune Up Your Business workshop on Oct. 1.
