We’ll start with a brief orientation on Sunday, February 23, where you and your fellow first-timers will get to meet an industry professional who can make recommendations for the best sessions to attend, people to meet, and any other confusion you have about the show. This year, you’ll be welcomed to a roundtable where you’ll get to meet and network with fellow show newbies, work on how to perfect show networking, and get your questions answered by more than 25 Show Ambassadors. Furthermore, we will also be rotating attendees, so you’ll get the opportunity to meet people from different tables and multiple Show Ambassadors. Lifelong friendships and business relationships often start at our shows, so you’ll know at least a few people who can lend a hand after attending our orientation. All you have to do is concentrate on your investment in attending the show.
“As a new operator, I came to the show not knowing what to expect and had neutral expectations. Within one day, I immediately realized the show was everything I was looking for and more. Not only did I get the education I was seeking, but my opportunities to network with operators from all over the world blew my expectations out of the water,” raves Patrick McKenna of Bing Mountain Luxury Transportation.
“As a first-timer to the show, I felt very welcomed, and everyone was friendly. I met fantastic people and made connections that will be very helpful to our business,” says Nancy Plante of Executive Express.
And even though there’s just weeks to go before the big show, there’s still plenty of time to register. Save money by registering in advance because prices will increase on-site. Click here to sign up today.
