CTG is hosting the 2011 Product and Technology Training Conference at the Savannah Center in Cincinnati, OH.  The 2 day conference will provide our outside sales force with the latest updates and technologies CTG has to offer.  With a sales team that covers the globe this will be a great chance for everyone to mingle and meet other reps outside their territories, it will also give our staff a chance to meet the “road warriors” who are out there every day in front of our customers.   Many activities are planned for the conference including a dinner riverboat cruise. 

Welcome, we all hope you benefit from the training, enjoy your time here and travel safely.

Memorial Day is right around the corner and in honor of all who serve and have served our country CTG would like to take this opportunity to recognize one of its own Jim Bimber.
