A special word about PAII VII 2002: We are really looking forward to greeting you all at the PAII Conference in Chicago, so please be sure to visit us at Booth 204-206. Get a friend to sign up for membership in BedandBreakfast.com, or upgrade your own membership and we'll thank you with a free custom-made BedandBreakfast.com apron.
If you are not sure about attending PAII VII, consider these comments from Carol Edmondson, of the Captain Freeman Inn, Brewster, MA:
"First, you will learn so much by talking to literally hundreds of successful innkeepers at meals, over cocktails, in the rest room, hallways, parties, and elsewhere. We make a list of things we want to discuss and we work at it all week long. We try to eat with different people every meal to see old friends and make new contacts. Second, the trade show is a huge opportunity to meet with the vendors and make major purchases. We have purchased all our amenities, towels, pillows, mattresses, whirlpool tubs, software, coffee pots, etc. at PAII conferences. Finally, the educational sessions cover a range of subjects all geared very much to your business and how to make it better. Good stuff. After ten years and four conferences, we come home tired, hoarse, re-invigorated, rejuvenated and ready to tackle a new season. Get there if you can and make the most of every minute, it's a gift to yourself and your business."
