The Best Networking Available
ACTE is primarily known for its excellence in educational content, but here is something you maybe didn't know - it's also renowned for its top-level networking.
The 2012 ACTE Global Education Conference will provide you with the opportunity to meet senior-level business travel executives from around the world, representing the industry's leading buyers and suppliers. ACTE specifically creates extensive networking opportunities throughout the conference so you can meet new people informally or discuss partnerships and ideas in-depth.
Here are just a few examples:
|
Opening Night Reception
|
 |
Ferry Building 1 Ferry Building San Francisco, CA 94105
|
|
April 22, 2012 (7:30pm-9:30pm)
Enjoy the City by the Bay while you savor cocktails, appetizers, and culture while conversing with colleagues at one of San Francisco’s most historical landmarks during the ACTE Opening Night Reception.
Located on the waterfront, the Ferry Building offers a taste of quintessential San Francisco. From the high ceilings and the tile mosaic of the Great Seal of the State of California, this building truly is an architectural masterpiece. Opening in 1898, the Ferry Building became the transportation hub for anyone arriving by train from the East, as well as those arriving by ferry. The dramatic clock tower on top of the building has been a San Francisco icon since the turn of the century.
Shuttle bus service will be provided to the reception from the Fairmont San Francisco lobby entrance from 7:20pm-7:50pm. Return transportation will be provided from 9:15pm-9:45pm.
