"This was our first year attending. I can say from experience that the conference was well organized and very informative. I felt I had a chance to visit with each bank planner multiple times throughout the conference.
Anyone in the sales industry knows the sale begins with the relationship. I know I made many new friends during the conference. Not only were there wonderful social events but the meals were a fabulous time to be able to sit with a new bank planner and discuss the trips they had been on and find out what they were planning next.
As a seller the Shared Showcase Exhibit was our chance to present what we had to offer. Every bank planner stopped by our booth and showed great interest. I know I was able to do more business during the 2-hour showcase than I have done during the whole week at similar conferences.
Sign me up for 2009!!"

The club directors are a pleasure to work with and appreciate a DMO's assistance is helping them plan their future tours.
