NEW EGG Charter Member Benefit - Libby Gill offering COMPLEMENTARY coaching session

This week at the TravelCom Women's Forum we were fortunate to have Libby Gill as the keynote at lunch, as well as having her as our guest at the private EGG Charter Member dinner Tuesday night. We had 23 women at the dinner, of which 4 were brand new EGG Charter members. An "eggcelent" time was had by all and the evening provided a foundation for new relationships, friendships and certainly a broader network for all who were there.

I am plesed to announce that Libby has agreed to provide the EGG Charter members a special offer on her coaching services:

• First coaching session is Complementary - this is a $250 value
• Ongoing coaching is 10% off her normal rate of $250 per hour

To arrange for your complementary coaching session you will have to be a current Charter Member (see member info) and then send your request to egg@solutionz.com. I will put you in touch with Libby.

Enjoy this new benefit!

Rob from Google is about to speak. They are serving cocktails, which is very Googlesque. #travelcom

Herb Kelleher is a real gentleman, a real card and quite entertaining! He is giving Henry of #Forrester a run for his money!

Herb said "If it is conventional, it is not wisdom and if it is wisdom, it is not conventional". This was a quote from an analyst.

Herb Kelleher won Steve Fosset innovator award at #TravelCom for #Southwest's accomplishments

Next up at #Travelcom CEOs of Orbitz and Trvelocity. Should be interesting. Both are new.

Executive Women's Forum at #TravelCom had a record 100 women yesterday.

"A girl's just gotta have friends" article by #Huffington Post writer Karen Leland is worth a read http://ping.fm/ur7bW

Brad's topic is "the New Normal". We are not going back.....

Brad Gerstner is talking about the economy at #Travelcom. Brad heads up #Altimeter Capital.

#GDS is Global Distribution System technology - the tech that powers booking and pricing systems

The fact that #Travelcom is talking about Twitter more than the GDS technology is a sign of the times.

Travel Industry losses are not an April fools joke (unfortunately). Cancelled meetings and conventions results in lost jobs.

Henry Harteveldt of Forrester described at #Travelcom by cochair Krista Pappa as a Tweetheart

Hotels have lost nearly $1b in the last two months from meeting/convention cancellations

We had an amazing turnout at the #Executive Girlfriends' Group (lovingly called EGG) dinner last night. What fun!

It is clearly a new era at #TravelCom

At #Travelcom in Atlanta. Dreary day but is interesting to hear Roger Dow talking about Twitter.
