Yes - many thanks to Howie and Sharon for organizing. This was my 2nd year and next year I'm definitely arriving Thursday night.
Feeling very sleep deprived today but it was SO worth it!

My review was quite long & detailed. You all can not copy it verbatim or even TripAdvisor would toss the reviews out, thinking it was rigged.
I don't have a link yet for my review, as I think it takes TA 24-72 hours to review/post them & send an email they're up & running.
And of course I encourage everyone to write their own reviews. Go onto TripAdvisor, do a search on the property & then post your own reviews.
Cheers.

My first conference was fabulous! Big thanks to Howie, Sharon and all the speakers. Presentations were on point and I loved the sessions which encouraged individual questions. Meeting other travelers and sharing ideas was also a highlight. See you next year!

My review of the hotel is now live on Trip Advisor. I don't think TA does links to individual reviews, but the link below will take you to the thread for the property.
My review on TA (which is long) starts out: "I've stayed at this property for an annual conference seven years in a row. When I'm here the conference books the hotel 100% full."
See TA for the rest of the review.

Another great time!
Just got back to Hawaii yesterday after spending a few days in Las Vegas after the seminars. Posted my review about the Holiday Inn on Trip Advisor. Too bad I can't do the same for Yelp. http://www.lasvegashawaii.net
