Note that some content on the CASE website is region-specific, so consider selecting América Latina, Asia-Pacific or Europe as a selection when looking at the site.
Of course there are non-CASE offerings as well, too numerous to list here. However, I will mention one specific opportunity in which I've participated in the past, and which will be of interest to some:
Educational Travel Conference (Orlando, Florida, USA)
January 19-22, 2012
If you work on alumni travel programs and want to see other planners, international destination reps, and tour operators all in one giant place, this is a great conference to attend.
What are your professional development plans for the coming calendar year?
