Need vendors? For a successful trade show and happy vendors, we strongly recommend that you follow this guideline: 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  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.
