Who it's for

For travel buyers early in AI.

This course is for CTAN members. 88% of members place themselves at low or no AI maturity within their travel program. That group is who we built this for. No experience assumed, no jargon, and no being talked down to.

A safe and honest space

Mistakes are part of it. We use AI's wrong turns and hallucinations as teaching moments, out in the open.

Unapologetically pro-travel manager

Built around your job and your day, not a generic AI curriculum.

Experiential rather than lecture-based

You spend most of the hour building, not watching someone else present.

You bring the ideas.
AI gives it structure.

How it works

One tool, one hour per session. Something real built by the end.

01

One tool per session

You learn one tool well instead of dabbling in three.

02

Show mine, build yours

Sally shows her own example, then you build your version in the room.

03

A tangible output every time

You leave with something you made, in your own context, that you'll use.

04

Prompting woven through

You learn to prompt by doing it across four tools, never as a theory lesson.

You can't put real company data into a public AI tool on a personal plan, so we don't. The sessions work on structure, writing, synthesis and frameworks. Your confidential information stays out of the room.

The four sessions

What you'll build.

01
NotebookLM

Build a new joiner travel pack

You'll build

An infographic version of your travel policy, a video of how to set up a profile, and other onboarding visuals. The sort of thing agencies used to charge thousands for.

02
Claude / ChatGPT

Improve your communication skills

You'll build

Your own prompt templates. You use AI to build them, then run past meeting transcripts through to see how your communication actually comes across.

03
Claude / ChatGPT

Build an RFP from scratch

You'll build

An RFP framework and template: question sets, a weighting matrix, a scoring rubric. AI interviews you about what good looks like, then structures it from your answers. No rates, no contracted terms.

04
Claude / ChatGPT

Create leverage in the areas where your knowledge shines

You'll build

An SOP for a process you know inside out but have never written down nor automated. AI interviews you, then drafts it into something you can hand over.

What we ask

This course is free.

The cohort is free for CTAN members. The only expectation is that you show up ready to build.

12 per cohort

Two time zones keep each room small enough that everyone gets to share.

Self-selecting.

The application and the $20 plan are the only filters. Both just check that you're serious.
