Seattle,
WA – April 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / CCRA’s
premier networking and travel agent education event, PowerSolutions LIVE,
will be making its first stop on the West Coast on Monday May 8th at the
Sheraton Seattle Hotel from 4:30 – 8:30 PM-PDT. PowerSolutions
LIVE Seattle will focus on providing area travel agents with the
necessary tools to successfully grow their travel businesses through educational
sessions and supplier networking opportunities.
The
event will feature Richard Earls, Publisher with Travel Research Online
(TRO), as the keynote speaker who will be presenting, “Harnessing the
Power of a Professional Web Presence”. This lines up with CCRA’s newest
product, TRUESites,
a user-friendly and intuitive website builder and social media management
platform, which was created in collaboration with the highly successful
Voyager Website product launches last year. CCRA offers the full suite
of Voyager tools under the TRUE flag to member agencies at a steep discount
as part of their growing list of benefits.
