Gary – how would you “compare and contrast” FTU with the DO coming up in Chicago in October??
@UAPhil well I’ll be at the Frequent Traveler University, and I won’t be on the program in Chicago! =)
Is there a day breakdown for the events yet (other than what you have posted above). I will be able to attend Saturday but not Sunday.
