IPATA Basics Workshop for Pet Shippers

A BASIC's WORKSHOP covering the "how-to's" and "where-to's" needed for those that are just starting out in the pet shipping business . . or those who wish a refresher course. Learn industry terminology, how to measure pets for kennels, calculating freight prices, how to find country regulations, documentation requirements and much more. Plenty of reference materials and lots of tips for your own business.

Workshop registration includes
continental breakfast, lunch, morning and afternoon breaks,
as well as an invitation to attend IPATA's Icebreaker Reception
Saturday evening. Attendees also receive a workbook with
copies of forms, tips and handouts from each of the presentations.
The workbook is updated each year and usually is approximately
200 pages. A great reference book to take back to the office!
