Frequent Traveler University Coming to New York City, Returning to DC

Frequent Traveler University is returning to Washington, DC and coming to Midtown Manhattan in New York City this summer.

FTU is a two days of expert-led sessions on salient travel topics and manufactured spending. It’s not only a venue to learn, but one to network with like-minded folk (let’s face it, we’re a bit of an odd bunch).

Why FTU? Isn’t all the information available on blogs or Flyertalk? Well, actually the answer is no. I know the manufactured spending sessions include information far too sensitive to blog about it. Even my own sessions on miles and points contain some tidbits that I do not feel comfortable writing publicly about.

It’s a friendly atmosphere where questions and discussion are encouraged. Fellowship is a highpoint.

Coming up this summer: FTU New York (Midtown Manhattan) in June and Washington, DC in August.
