PAII
Conference & Tradeshow, Atlanta, GA. Information:
800-468-7244.
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.
In March, Eric Goldreyer, Janice Hurley and Sandy
Soule traveled to Europe to attend the B&B Expo in
Brussels. More than 20,000 European travelers were
there to learn about vacation destinations.
While there, BedandBreakfast.com hosted Internet
Intensive workshops in Brussels, London and
Amsterdam. No one else travels the way
BedandBreakfast.com staffers do. We hope to see you
soon at a conference or Internet Intensive workshop!
Here are a few pictures from the European trip.
