Early March was a very busy time for BedandBreakfast.com. To kick off the 2010 Innkeeping Show, we hosted an open house/happy hour in our downtown Austin office, followed by a Texas-sized party under the stars at the Long Center. Check out more photos on the BedandBreakfast.com Facebook page.

Kallia Shook, Senior Accounting Analyst, is all smiles as she serves Shiner Bock at the BedandBreakfast.com open house.

Innkeepers two-stepped the night away at the Long Center.

Janice Hurley-Hollis and David Hiler took the stage for a rousing duet.
Need vendors? For a successful trade show and happy vendors, we have some recommendations: Offer a two-hour reception with hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar in the trade show area, typically from about 4-6 or 5-7 to kick off your conference. On the next day, offer a two-hour block of time (with no competing workshops) for vendors, perhaps after lunch. Reliable high-speed Internet access is essential. Fifteen minutes between workshops is inadequate for all concerned; recent conference evaluations show that innkeepers are placing an increasingly high value on vendor time.
