Registration is live.
If you've been to a previous event expect something very similar. If you haven't been before, check out the 2014 Thread
For those who might be new to Flyertalk. If you're interested in meeting other FTers in smaller groups in different locations throughout the year, FT has a forum called "CommunityBuzz".
This is where people will post get-togethers (often called "DOs"), whether it be something as simple as meeting up for lunch or dinner or as organized as activities over a few days in places like London, Australia, Austin, Alaska, etc. It's a great way to meet other travel-oriented folk, but not in academic or large setting like the seminar event.

Legally? No one is going to sue you or anything. If you change your mind login to eventbrite and change your selection. If you can't pick something else that mean the particular session is at capacity. If it is at capacity and you want to switch you're out of luck.

Still worth it? I think so and the most I've ever been to any session is about 10 minutes.

Hi Howie,
1)I have already booked the seminar.
Trying to book the (Elk Grove ) hotel,I do not see the option of "with/without breakfast ,
like it was in previous seminars.
How do I confirm that I want the breakfast included ?
2)I hope that you will again organize a restaurant outing for Sat. night.
I have enjoyed it very much last year and I promise that this time ,I'll be on time.
Thanks

We didn't organize dinner specifically through the event for Saturday; but there are lots of folks that do get together for dinner -- this thread or other threads in the community forum are great for planning get-togethers.

If you're staying at the host hotel on the conference rate it includes breakfast.

Is anyone in here going from Indianapolis? Been trying to get some friends to drive up with me but they don't exactly understand our hobby. Didn't get to go last year and really wanna go this year! Was just curious if there were any other hoosiers that are going to be attending!
