JTI Attends ASTD 2008 Conference
Training and Learning at an International Level

SAN DIEGO, California - June 6, 2008 - The 2008 annual ASTD International Conference & Exposition has come and gone and JTI was glad to have been able to experience it. Held in the beautiful city of San Diego, the ASTD 2008 International Conference lived up to its reputation of being the premier event for workplace learning and performance professionals. Adam Eling, Account Manager for JTI said “the conference was a wonderful experience. Being able to meet and talk to our current clients and friends and meeting new people and prospects was well worth the trip.”

The ASTD conference boasts thousands of attendees, with international attendees from over 70 countries. A conference with that large of an international presence is always enjoyable for a globalization company. Love of international cultures is at the heart of JTI’s business and seeing companies and individuals from different countries interact with each other on the platform of learning and education is quite special. We were happy to gain even further insight into an industry [eLearning and training] that is already a major part of our business. Events like the ASTD conference allow us to continually adapt to where the industry is heading.

Next year’s conference will be held in Washington D.C., which is much closer to JTI’s corporate headquarters in Norfolk, VA. We would like to thank everyone that made our company’s visit to the ASTD conference worthwhile. We hope to see you at the next ASTD event!
