MLT Vacations said that its annual travel agent event, MLT University, will move to Atlanta next year after 21 years in
Minneapolis/St. Paul.
MLT University will be held at the Georgia International
Convention Center, Sept. 17-18, 2016, MLT President John Caldwell told agents
in Minneapolis at this year's event.
Caldwell said that
the move supports MLT's efforts to expand its business beyond its
traditional Midwest base. It is also another step to more closely align
itself with parent company Delta Air Lines, which is based in
Atlanta.
This year, MLT University
attracted about
2,100 attendees from more than 40 states.
