Good morning everyone! I am simply amazed at the interest and response to the upcoming event. I am equally surprised at the number of creative reasons that people won’t have access to the internet on July 3rd, 2010, 12:00 noon to register.
In all honesty, I will be completely blown away if this event reaches the capacity of 100 people (which doesn’t include the volunteers) at each venue on the registration date. With that said, and
WesNSpace please correct me if I am wrong, we will have the ability to create a waitlist for each venue, when and if that venue reaches capacity. At last year’s event we also had waitlists for each venue, albeit it was done manually, and as it has been stated before, we completely cleared the waitlist prior to the event. The planning team will of course monitor this closely and although there are no guarantees, we will do our best to accommodate everyone.

The phone booking fees are waived for those taking part in this program using this number and code. Also you will save 2% and help us with our fund-raising goals.
Thanks-

Yes, this is an "official" registered Delta Group event and if you choose to utilize the booking method above, you will receive a nominal 2% discount off of any published fare. As Wes states, if enough people utilize this, we will get free tickets that can be included in the fund raising efforts.

Hope to be able to register and see you all there!

The planning team is working to engage a wide variety of leaders from Delta on a fairly extensive set of topics such as SkyMiles, Delta.com, In-Flight, Product, Network, Reservations/ACS, etc. We will also likely have some level of Executive Leadership engagement. It is too far in advance to fully confirm the all topics and/or the executives that will be in attendance. More to come on that later.
Yes, Richard Anderson, along with Jeff Robertson did personnally attend and speak at the 2009 Thank you Luncheon we had for the Delta employees and volunteers last fall.

I've seen the post explaining that Thursday there are major events...but how important/major are the Sunday events?
We haven't finalized the Sunday agenda at this point, but I am sure that we will wrap up the day by 5:00 p.m. It is only a 5 min. ride to the airport so most people should be able to get flights home that evening.
Keep those cards and letters coming, and Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!
