We teamed up with Visit San Antonio to plan an extremely fun and productive Travel Exchange ’17 for attendees, Dec. 14-18. And we have. Click the button below to watch the first video episode of TREXtra to get a sneak peek at our host city and the Icebreak event at Witte Museum.

And, as always, here are the key dates you don’t want to miss before we head to Texas:

• Oct. 10: Last day for operators to register and be eligible for full rebate.
• Oct. 11: Appointment scheduling opens
• Nov. 28: Schedules posted, Direct Request opens.
• Dec. 8: Direct Request closes.
• Dec. 14: Helloooooooo Texas!

NTA entered into a strategic partnership with U.S. Travel Association’s Experience Network to provide valuable education content at Travel Exchange. The Network showcases Jay Baer—internet pioneer and New York Times bestselling author—who’ll provide his marketing and customer service insights as our Opening Ceremony & Breakfast keynote and in an interactive session Saturday, Dec. 16.

TREX education is built on four tracks: Sales & Marketing, Business Solutions, Market R&D and NTA Community. View the lineup of professional development seminars, and make plans to attend your must-sees. Updates to the education program are made frequently, so check back regularly.

Sometimes, a well-earned night of sleep is every bit exciting as a productive day on the show floor or a fun evening with your friends. If you haven’t already, go ahead and reserve your room in the NTA block at the Marriott Rivercenter.

Use the buttons below to book your room, or reserve it over the phone at 800.364.8064. And always feel free to reach out NTA’s Laura Scott with any questions that may come up.
