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. Feel free to contact Sandy@BedandBreakfast.com or Janice@BedandBreakfast.com for advice.

Planning ahead? Email Sandy@BedandBreakfast.com so we can start telling folks about your upcoming conference. We highly recommend adding a conference information page to your state association website so we can link directly to it. These listings are a free service of BedandBreakfast.com.

Need Speakers? BedandBreakfast.com can help make your state or regional meeting a success. Eric Goldreyer, Sandy Soule, Tim Wilson, Janice Hurley, John Banczak and Marti Mayne are available to lead educational workshops on a wide variety of topics, including internet marketing, email effectiveness, customer service, promoting and publicizing your B&B, and lots more. Ben Littler, Product Manager for RezOvation, is available to lead user group sessions that will help you get the most out of your software.

Eric Goldreyer visit with an innkeeper at the B&B Expo in Brussels, Belgium.

Janice Hurley and Mary Wendel presented workshops at the Internet Intensives in Maine.
