Frequent Traveler University is returning to Washington, DC next month and I’d love to see you there for our leadoff event of 2024.
FTU is a full day of expert-led sessions on trending travel topics and manufactured spending. It’s not only a venue to learn, but one to network with like-minded folks who love the points and miles game.
Why FTU? Isn’t all the information available on blogs or Flyertalk? Probably…if you look hard enough. But for those who value their time and may not eat, breathe, and sleep miles and points, this seminar is for you. Speakers will unpack in simple and understandable ways the many nuances of travel, miles, and points in 2024.
It’s a friendly atmosphere where questions and discussion are encouraged. I enjoy these events very much.
Once again this year, FTU is teaming up with the Travel & Adventure Show in Washington, DC to offer training alongside a major travel conference.
Let me also take this time to recommend you you attend the entire weekend. The T&A show will feature more great speaker and exhibitors.
