It will be your loss if you don't attend. I'm returning for the 4th time because I've learned something significant every time plus met some great people who continue to be the source of ongoing wisdom.

This will be the first time I've attended one of these, and I'm pretty excited about it.

One question--how firm is my session selection that I choose when registering? There are a couple I'm torn between, do you really have to decide now?

I'm just getting into this world and would love to attend! However, I think I could only make 1/2 day or so. Is there potential for a reduced fee or pay per session?
I'll be getting ready and running the Chicago Marathon which is on that Sunday.

My guess is that you have never planned a large event before. I have (though not for 400+ people). I can tell you that $20 is CHEAP. You can't even begin to imagine how many hours Rick and Howie put into this event just for the love of seeing others gain insights into our hobby/addiction.

Im local to Chicago and considering attending (would be first visit) but would like to have more than a 4 word description of what is included in each talk. I understand the need for specific techniques not to be disclosed publicly, but these speakers should be able to provide a paragraph or two explaining their credentials and what they plan to impart.

I for one wont consider a ticket until this information is made available.

thanks!
Perhaps PM the various speakers if you want. Usually a bit more descriptive seminar topics are posted as the seminar gets closer. All I can say is that if you come you will not be disappointed. There is so much information shared that it is almost impossible not to leave with new-found insights as well as new friends.

I went last year, Stay the the Holliday Inn, great buch of employees at the hotel.,

Been doing points and miles for over 20 years..and yet I picked up many new ideas, and meet some decent people...computer guy was super..he's a hacker..with lots of tips, for the road...

Well worth your time and the dime...on the road again to do it again...

Food is good at the Hotel also...they will take you down the road if you like..
Just good people that let's you know they care...Can not say enough about the staff.

I have seen Rick & Howie pull this off for the last two years. Worked long hours at registration desk both times.

So yes $ 20 trf fee is a bargaib, especially if you ask the buyer to pay it ! If you are th eseller, heck you are an FTer, you know how to handle it !
