Join me in the ‘magical’ city of Orlando for the 2008 Annual Conference & Exhibition of the International Flight Services Association!

The Conference is a truly magnificent event that will beckon each one of us to discover a world of opportunities in our ever-changing industry. We will share knowledge, inspiration and ideas to embrace the opportunities that exist in the industry.

Orlando-Kissimmee is Florida’s third largest metropolitan area, behind Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater. The thriving city of Orlando sees an estimated 52 million tourists a year and is also home to 104 lakes and the greatest icon of enchantment – Walt Disney World.

Cultural opportunities also abound in Orlando, whether you take to listening to the soothing melodies of the symphony, reveling in the beat of a major Broadway production, enlightening your mind at the Orlando Science Center, or browsing the area’s renowned art galleries and exquisite boutiques. There is literally an endless list of things to do during your Orlando stay.

The many exciting educational sessions planned for the Conference are sure to provide valuable information necessary for growing your business in today’s onboard services industry. You’ll have the opportunity to attend panel discussions led by leading industry professionals who will discuss timely topics such as the state of the industry, current trends and what surprises our future may hold.

Our Host hotel this year for the Conference and Exhibition is Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. The impressive resort celebrates the legendary cultures of Mexico and the American Southwest amidst Mayan architectural flourishes at this lakeside Resort hotel.

So, mark your calendar today to “Discover a World of Opportunity” at IFSA’s 2008 Annual Conference and Exhibition. I look forward to seeing you there!
