(Alpharetta, GA – December 15, 2009) The Venza Group Received Top Honors at the American Society of Training & Development (ASTD) eLearning Excellence Awards Ceremony Held on December 10, 2009

Hosted by the Technology-based Learning SIG of ASTD’s Atlanta Chapter, the 4th annual event recognized 2009’s best eLearning designs. This year nominees, eleven (11) in all, were spread across 4 categories. The Venza Group entry, a highly engaging modular course developed for InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), was selected as the winner of the “Greater Than 100 Hours of Custom eLearning” category by the panel of distinguished judges. While announcing the award, the panel of industry-experts praised the Venza Group’s creativity and technical innovation.

“We were delighted to be nominated for an award of this magnitude in the first place, but winning is a great honor indeed. The phenomenally talented team from IHG and the Venza Group who worked so hard on it deserves all of the credit,” said Venza Group VP of Hospitality Rick Warner.

The following morning, moments after the joy of passing around the hefty marble trophy was shared by the Venza Group’s eLearning designers and developers, the team ceremoniously shifted their attention to 2010.
