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.

For those that are new to Flyertalk & want to keep current with what's happening with the Chicago Seminar Event, in every thread there is a link near the top of the thread that says "Thread Tools". On the drop-down menu is an option to "Subscribe to this Thread". When you subscribe to the thread there's also a drop-down menu where she say how often you want to receive notification of updates to the thread (never, as it happens, weekly, etc) & then you get email notifications of posts to the thread in the timelines you've indicated.
Hotel Shuttle Info
The shuttle leaves the hotel to go to ORD on the hour. It goes from ORD to the hotel on the half hour. You pick it up at ORD at the hotel/shuttle bus stop section @ door #2

Just signed up. Unfortunately, two of the seminars I was looking forward to are no longer available (Organizing Everyone's Points & Dream Destinations on Miles & Points). Hoping for some slide decks available after the seminars, or maybe just some good conversations outside of the sessions.
Look forward to meeting everyone. I'm fairly new to this hobby (started in earnest in October) but I've already got round-trip business class tickets to Asia and a 5-night domestic hotel stay 100% paid for by miles & points!

Just as an FYI, I've not specifically made space for Liz in this room, but rather am shifting the rooms that presentations are in to make sure the ones that more people are signing up for are in the bigger rooms we have.
If you were unable to get into a session you wanted, check your registration through eventbrite, you should be able to change if there is space in the session.

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!
This will be my first time attending so I think I might get a shirt made that says "Introverted extrovert - Please talk to me"

I'm all about the T shirt. I was thinking "Cliquebusters" with the red circle/slash.
