Why announce so late? I mean, most of us can't just go to AMS w/ 2 months notice. I don't even have a conventional job, and that's pushing it....
I'm not sure if you work for FTU, or in what capacity you're associated, but can you please answer:
1) Why at the airport?
and, more importantly
2) Is the discussion going to be the same as every other FTU?
From what I understand, it's all the same content, just at different locations...

- It was announced the day we finalized everything needed to launch. Sadly that was quite late for this one, but we're also not expecting many NA-based attendees and the short booking window will be less of an issue for EU-based attendees.
- Airport location was the most affordable option and transit in AMS is good enough that people can still get into town easily.
- The discussion will be quite different for this one due to audience. Programs discussed will mostly be EU based (LH, AF/KL, BA, etc...) and discussions on accruing mileage will also trend to those opportunities available to EU residents.
- However, your comment is reasonably accurate for other FTUs. While the speakers ensure they are using the most up-to-date information, and discuss changes to programs and rules, many of the topics will be the same from event to event as most people at the average FTU are first time attendees.

Interesting ! Ofcourse i will keep an open mind but i hope to keep a critical mindset just as TBB and not being swept away by the miasma of churn, milking and creditcard pumping. Besides all that, it will interesting to meet other Dutch enthousiasts though.
just registered for the main event only, if anyone wants to carpool from Rotterdam(area) let me know, that park inn hotel is a bit remotely located on a business park according to g-maps so public transport could be a hassle (especially in wet freezing november)
