TOTA Summit Speaker Announcement

---

Artificial Intelligence or AI has been a hot topic of conversation over the past year. Are we supposed to be using AI? Is the article we are reading written by AI? Are other tourism industry businesses using AI? 

Peter Pilarski, AI Strategist and the founder of the Tourism AI Network will be joining TOTA in Vernon, BC on October 30, 2024, to not only answer all these questions but to ensure attendees walk away from the 2024 TOTA Summit with a brand new skill set in utilizing AI technologies during the interactive and hands-on session Intro to Generative AI for Tourism Professionals.

Early bird registration is available until October 4, 2024. Register today to secure your spot.
