Good morning everyone, I’m flying to Dallas after work today to attend the Frequent Traveler University (FTU) travel conference. My flight from SFO should land a little after midnight, but I’ll be ready to go for the Saturday morning presentations.
I’m not speaking (formally) at the conference, but if you see me (wearing my classic Travel with Grant light gray shirt), feel free to stop and talk to me. Honestly, I’m more excited about seeing a few familiar faces and meeting new people this weekend then listening to the travel presentations.
Please do not be afraid to talk to me. Every time I get home from various travel conferences, I get a few emails from readers where they saw me at the conference but we’re afraid to talk to me. Please do not send me those emails, I’d rather meet you face to face than meet you over email. You pay good money for your FTU ticket, hotel, and airfare, please get the most out of your experience and talk to as many people/bloggers as you can. The conversations you engage in and the relationships you form at the conference will last much longer than the tips and tricks you learn at the conference.
Please read my PSA: Why you Should go to Travel Conferences by Yourself #Rant
Have a great weekend everyone!
I’d be careful trying to talk to Grant…he’s kind of scary in person! ;) Just kidding!!!
Looking forward to seeing you buddy!
Haha, I’m only scary on Halloween. Cya soon Bill
Sorry I will miss the fun this time. This one just didn’t work in my schedule. See you next time, Grant!
I’ll see you at the next one or the one after that. Have a great weekend Zippy!
Funny you should post that. I was one of those people who wrote you after a conference. Haha. But we finally did meet at the next one.
Haha, that is funny. Glad we could meet in person Jason. Hope to see you at an upcoming travel conference soon.
