About Last weekend

This was a busy week:
Thursday and Friday: Home Based Travel Agent Show.
Saturday: Vegas cvb at the Atlanta Steeplechase.

This was the first Travel Technology forum for the travel industry, so I had to make this one. I was pretty impressed to say the least. Some of the topics included hardware, processing (credit cards) and database software. I thought most of the agents would use a supplier, but with those I talked to, were in in the industry 12 plus years and well established used their own bank, processor, and dealt directly with suppliers.

Another forum the next day was Weddings & Romantic Getaways. This was headed up by some online suppliers specializing in weddings services (not locations).

There was a another forum dealing with Spa & Golf Getaways, but did not have the time to make it.

Saturday was tough after about 4 hours sleep I picked up a travel friend and headed out to Rome Georgia for the Atlanta Steeplechase. This was a blast ! I couldn’t believe all the tents and spectators. There must have been 30 companies there. I was a guest of The Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority. Marla & Glenda did a great job .. Thanks for having me.

I was really impressed how the Steeplechase has grown. I took some pics and added a Flickr Group.
