Sunday there are no individual sessions. The morning will start with our sponsors, then a raffle, and then we'll do large group breakouts (pick what you want on that day) for hotel and airline breakout sessions. We'll have moderators to start / keep discussion going, but the goal of the breakouts are to get some 1:1 time with others that have interest in a specific program. Want to split your time between two or more just cut in/out of the round-table discussions.

Make sure you don't miss him - especially if it will be your first time.

No, he doesn't have any secrets or deals, but is an amazing person will put this whole "hobby" of ours in perspective.
Couldn't agree more and glad we're not the only ones that think every one of us can learn a thing or two from such a great ambassador in the industry.

I'm excited to attend my first event! Looking forward to meeting some of the folks I've chatted with on FT.

Thanks for all the hard work putting everything together!

I could not agree more, last year was my first year of meeting and listening to Capt Denny speak and was taken back on his lecture, however, in an industry that is suppose to be customer service orientated there aren't enough Capt Denny's to change people perspective. But I can't wait to hear him speak again!

Just registered happy that I can attend. But I booked room at Hilton Hotel. It was mentioned that there will be shuttles to and from host hotel and airport correct?

Good to hear this is getting off the ground again. I recall someone asking if someone wanted to help w/ 'tech support' at the seminars. Perhaps that was only a last year thing, if so, let me know as I live in the area. PM is best.

Correct; shuttles will run to/from the airport and the to/from the overflow hotel as needed.

No it is not; there will be no shuttle service coordinated to/from the Hilton. Any service would need to be done directly through the Hilton.
