So,
I wasn't going to start a thread about
ZorkFest, since but
then this happened. At least, I thought it was right to provide my side of the narrative.
ZorkFest is about travel loyalty and casino loyalty. It brings together two areas of interest of mine and I have always believed that many of the concepts are complimentary. I have been a huge fan of the
Gaming Loyalty Programs forum on FlyerTalk and have been contributing there continuously since the beginning.
I believe that the
ZorkFest website provides most of the information necessary, but just to highlight a few points :
- With a promo code and registration before November 1st the price becomes $115 (including lunch and a drinks reception).
- We have secured good room rates (for a weekend) for $99++
- The program runs from approximately 9 am to 5.30 pm on Saturday. Sessions are 45minutes each. You DO NOT have to attend all sessions. You can mix&match whatever sessions interest you. Each 45-minute time slot will offer two sessions. One on maximizing value in a casino, and one session dedicated to travel and rewards. Pick whichever is of more interest to you.
- This links up with another (free) social event on Saturday evening for a big AC FB group
- Those who register before November 1st have a chance to win Caesars Diamond Status (five will win, terms and conditions apply).
You can find promo codes from two of the speakers
here and
here.
ZorkFest is a passion project of mine. It is NOT a not-for-profit or a charity event. Though, I do not really expect this first event to be profitable. I always wanted to see if there was interest for this type of event. It's different than other travel loyalty/frequent flyer events. The event happens to be relatively convenient to New York and Philadelphia.
That's my story! (Well, actually,
THIS IS MY STORY!)
