I totally agree with sbm12. I haven't been to FTU but have been to the Chicago Seminars three times and going again this weekend. At one of the general sessions the question is asked how many are first-time attenders. Well over half usually raise their hands. I have interacted with some of them over meals, breakout sessions, evening chats, etc. and it is amazing how much they learn. Heck, I think I am half way decent with miles and points but I still learn quite a bit each time.
