Registration is live.
If you've been to a previous event expect something very similar. If you haven't been before, check out the 2014 Thread
For those who might be new to Flyertalk. If you're interested in meeting other FTers in smaller groups in different locations throughout the year, FT has a forum called "CommunityBuzz".
This is where people will post get-togethers (often called "DOs"), whether it be something as simple as meeting up for lunch or dinner or as organized as activities over a few days in places like London, Australia, Austin, Alaska, etc. It's a great way to meet other travel-oriented folk, but not in academic or large setting like the seminar event.

Hotel Shuttle Info
The shuttle leaves the hotel to go to ORD on the hour. It goes from ORD to the hotel on the half hour. You pick it up at ORD at the hotel/shuttle bus stop section @ door #2

This sounds like it could be interesting. I am pretty new to FT and I live in Chicago. Does the shuttle from holiday inn O'Hare verify if you are staying there before you get on? I don't have a car and the blue line takes me about a block or 2 from that Holiday inn.

The Busse Holiday Inn hasn't had any vacancies since at least the first week of March ��Would someone please specify which of the HI's at O'Hare is the "overflow" one with the shuttle. I think it's the Rosemont one on W. Higgins rd, but I'm not sure. Thanks

I'm considering attending this. I've read much of the thread about last year's event. Can I expect to get some sort of additional information that I wouldn't already get from reading all the great blogs authored by the presenters?
