One of the most requested things we’ve gotten for future Frequent Traveler University events is a different program — while each one has several different topics and speakers, they’ve also had many similar program components, and a large group of people of very mixed experience levels.
We’ve listened and have begun to put together a more intimate event called FTU Advanced that will be held at the Chicago Marriott O’Hare July 18-20.
Sounds like a great event. Would luv to attend , but won’t be able. Some day. Best wishes.
I’d love to go, but am already booked on a trip to SFO that weekend. Hopefully this will be the first, but not the last FTU Advanced.
Any idea when there will be one on the West Coast again?
Gary, Are you to be adding any new speakers or the same FTU speakers in the past?
I thought you guys were planning an advanced in LA? Still happening on West Coast???
I’m in! Can’t wait for a great weekend and the opportunity to meet some fellow enthusiasts!
Come back to NoVa and the Greater DC area.
Still hoping for an event near DFW. Gaylord Texan would be an excellent location.
@MileageUpdate each FTU has been a little bit different, and a little bit same. You see right now 2 of the same 🙂
This one was almost on the West Coast but it’s important to get the pricing right, note that the event later this month is on the West Coast..
Ill be there. This will probably sell out in a day or two if that.
Wish the dates were different – will be in Bora Bora then (which I won’t complain about).
It seems a little ironic though that Marriott, which has one of the less rewarding programs, is the official hotel for the last 2 events.
Signed up! Really looking forward to it!
OH, NO!! I’ve already committed to join my GF for a Jane Austen tour in England at that time. I wonder if Jane ever used miles and points to pay for carriage rides??
Bummer. It’s already sold out.
Tickets are already gone and I just learned about this ten minutes ago. Rats!!
Nice, it’s sold out already…..
Boo. I wanted to go, but it’s sold out.
The reason I get email alerts from Gary is because of things like this. I got the email and signed up immediately. I get the email alert on every single post he sends to readers. I need to make it a notification on my front screen :-). There have been many things where you have to act fast.
Perhaps I need to set up an email alert as well because I missed this 🙁 Was glad to read that another FTU Advanced is a possibility — perhaps we can hold it in Houston or Dallas 😉
P.S. Well, maybe not Dallas… For some reason, after US joined OW, BA Avios site shows no flights between IAH and DFW even though plenty of AA availability in reality 🙁
trying to get rid of my ticket for FTU Advanced, can no longer make it. anyone interested?
@ TJ — do you have a room reservation? From reading MP, sounds like the rooms are sold out so even some of those that hold tickets can’t book at a group rate anymore.
@Ivan Y – yes, I have a room at the Marriott booked for the $99 rate
Ivan Y I am interested in buying yout ticket if still available?
I am a registered participant and would like to follow the organizing activities and add my suggestions. Would you please forward me a password to the page.
Thank you Neil Cohen
I have a ticket to the July FTU advanced – please let me know if interested.
Thanks
