If you are just starting out in this game or have limited knowledge, FTU is definitely the session for you. If you already consider yourself a seasoned pro on all things travel consider FTU Advanced as a way to increase your knowledge even further and network with like-minded individuals.

Don’t underestimate the fun you will have at this event too — those who attended my exotic travel session shared a lot of good laughs, many at my expense (!), and the many social opportunities including the welcome reception, breakfasts, and lunches, provide a great opportunity to make friendships.

FTU costs $149 while FTU Advanced is $249. The event is non-profit and trust me, I take part in this program this because I love doing it and consider it worthwhile for all attendees, not because I could not be making more money doing other things.

Plans do change, of course, and if you book now and find you cannot go later, you can always transfer your ticket to another individual for $25.

You can book a discounted rate at the Hyatt Regency DFW for $99 while you are at the event and you will receive complimentary Hyatt Platinum status for attending through 02/2016 if you do not already have it.

I hope to see many of you there — FTU Advanced has sold out within hours for the last three events, so secure your spot quickly if you are interested.
