I loved coming to the expo in Chicago last year and especially meeting you! But, I just can't justify our group spending another $300 in travel/overnight costs for our bags of goodies.
If we could have specific break out session, keynote speaker, q&a with other PTO'ers, networking areas...then maybe I could.
I definitely appreciated the little seminars-for lack of a better word- but it was info we already had from this site or the magazine AND was next to impossible to hear anyone speaking because of the location, acoustics in the room, etc.
I did suggest those ideas in the survey. Any chance of those items begin offered?
If you haven't been, these are fun events with tons of ideas and options. The schedule is all up to you. You can stay for nearly a whole day or pop in whenever fits your needs. JUst be sure to bring the car with a big trunk, as you're sure to leave with boodles of freebies and goodies and samples and prizes.
