TAG Field Trips

About TAG Field Trips:

The TAG Field Trip program, established in 2005, has been enthusiastically received by our membership. The inaugural FT program was launched at Internap, followed by programs at McKesson and CheckFree.

Each program featured a presentation by one of the company’s corporate leaders; an in-depth tour; and a sumptuous reception. “There is no other program that regularly provides the depth, breadth, and scope of education obtainable provided through TAG’s Field Trip program”, says TAG CEO Tino Mantella. “Our participating members tell us that they are amazed at the level of detail each host company is willing to share and the significant take-away value they have receive through their involvement."

See the impressive ‘08’ lineup, below. This program is open only to TAG & ATP (Atlanta Telecom Professional) members.
