Throughout 2020 and moving into 2021, PATA has launched a series of initiatives to assist our members to respond, manage, and recover from the current situation, in collaboration with our members and industry partners.

This special episode of PATA 101 will take a close look at our overall performance in 2020 and goals that we plan to further achieve in the near future. We will also be talking about the benefits that are exclusively available to PATA members, which range from building networks across different sectors to accessing a wide array of our data and publications. During the second half of the webinar, Dr. Mario Hardy, the CEO of PATA, will be answering questions submitted by the audience.
