Welcome to the third annual Far West Travel Expo. Here’s the latest scoop on the Travel Expo. If you attended the convention in 2003 or 2004, you are probably familiar with the format of the new Travel Expo. Whether you’ve been there before or are new to the Travel Expo, here are some tips for how to get the most out of your experience.

The Expo—
The Travel Expo is a form where delegates [voting and non-voting] can meet with the ski industry [resorts, operators and suppliers], up close and personal in a pre-scheduled 10-minute appointment format. These appointments are held every 15 minutes on the quarter hour starting at 9:15 AM and ending at 11:15 AM, giving you eight opportunities to meet with the ski industry. We are asking that delegates and industry take advantage of all eight appointments.

There will be a maximum of 4 people per appointment. In some cases, the industry may choose to meet with less than 4 people. We are asking that no one club take all four spots for any one meeting unless the industry requests it.

Signing Up for Appointments—
Delegates, you will be given your “Travel Expo Passport” when you enter the Silent Auction. The Passport is for you to record appointments with the Industry. Make sure you also record your appointment on the industry’s sign-up sheet. If you miss the Silent Auction, you can pick up a Passport at Saturday’s registration.

Industry, you will find your Sign-Up Sheet in your registration package. The Sign-Up Sheet is for you to record appointments with Delegates. Make sure you also record your appointment on the delegate's Passport.

You will have two opportunities to sign up.

• Sign up during the Silent Auction on Friday from 7 - 11 PM.
  
  
• Sign up on Saturday from 8:45 - 9:15 AM during the half hour prior to the start of the Travel Expo.

The Meetings—
The meetings this year will be in the Centennial Ballroom and a couple of break-out rooms. We will attempt to have industry seated in alphabetical order. Announcements will be made for the beginning and end of all appointments.
