Marketing instructor and student attend IATTO Forum in Cannes, France
Chris Schrage and Lindsey Schneckloth
Instructor of Marketing, Chris Schrage, presented at the International Association of Trade Training Organization (IATTO) Forum in Cannes, France from October 28 to 31, 2009. Schrage was joined by Lindsey Schneckloth (Marketing/Spanish), who has received the Certified Global Business Professional status. She is now studying for a Master's in International Relations with a focus on how culture affects negotiations.
The 35th annual forum focused on “Managing Change in Turbulent Times” and had representatives from 24 countries. Schrage presented her paper entitled “Global Networking: Innovations Impact on Business Relations”. The forum had considerable take-away value and the networking opportunities were immense.
Schneckloth commented, “I am so glad I came. I learned so much from all the professionals from all over the world. I had been concerned of how I would be perceived as a university student and being so young, but everyone was so supportive and willing to share ideas.”
The International Association of Trade Trainers Organization (IATTO) will meet again October 27 to 30, 2010 in Barbados. For more information on the organization and the events of this year’s forum visit www.IATTO.org.
