Calendar of Events

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. 

 

Need Speakers? BedandBreakfast.com can help make your state or regional association meeting as successful as possible. Eric Goldreyer, Sandy Soule, Tim Wilson, Janice Hurley, Bill Mitchell, 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.

 

Need vendors?  To maximize vendor participation in your conference, include several hours for your members to enjoy the trade show, in addition to the times when workshops are in progress. High-speed Internet access is increasingly important, and a reliable dial-up Internet connection is the bare minimum.
