Sliding Into Home!

While Louisville is certainly known for "the fastest three minutes in sports", we can't forget that it's also the home of the mother of all baseball bats, the Louisville Slugger.

If you're a baseball fan, you'll want to take some time during your stay (just not during the Conference Workshops, of course!) to check out the Louisville Slugger Museum. It's not far from our "home plate", The Galt House, and you can even take a tour of the factory. Personalized bats are available for purchase, but for those flying to Louisville, remember that you'll have to ship them home or put them in your checked luggage, as the TSA does consider a baseball bat a dangerous weapon (and not just in the hands of Jim Thome!).


As mentioned, our conference hotel is the Galt House. This lovely riverfront property boasts all newly-remodeled rooms and suites. As an ACCED-I conference attendee, you'll have a choice of booking either a suite or a regular room. This is a great option, as you can choose which best fits your budget. The suites, in addition to the regular 2 bed accommodations, have a sleeper sofa in the outer room, which could make sharing the cost much easier on the budget. The suite is also a great option if you'll be extending your stay as a family vacation.



Are you starting to see the "possibilities" for the 2010 Annual Conference? :)

Y'all come back!

Lemons Into Lemonade

Don't know about you, but most of the conference and events professionals I know are masters of positive spin. We can take any almost any situation and turn it around.

Take, for example, the weather. We have a client on campus this weekend who's having a picnic, and the forecast isn't, well, let's just say it could be a great day if you're a duck. Are we going to let that stop us from giving the client a superior experience? No way! If it rains, we'll just give them umbrellas and snorkels and let them go at it.

OK, not really.

But you get the idea!

Our host for the 30th Annual Conference, Louisville, has dubbed itself "Possibility City". While we're all hard at work providing umbrellas, sunscreen, or extra blankets for our summer clients, be sure to keep track of all of the ways you create possibilities for your clients, and always remember to "always look on the bright side"!



Y'all come back!
