The hazards of business travel aside, it’s good to see and be seen.  You can find Bill Hanifin at one of several events in the next few weeks. If you are attending either Card Forum or the Loyalty Expo, I hope you will say hello. Here’s where I can be found in the near future:

April 20 – 22, 2009
21st Annual Card Forum and Expo
Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort
Marco Island, FL

May 14th 2:30pm ET
Creating Loyalty Among Generation Y
Webinar sponsored by OnSite Conferences

I am a proponent of keeping one step ahead of the market. The loyalty marketing business has put out an APB for innovation, wherever it may be found. For those of you who are in the Metro NY area, you should make an effort to attend the Reinventing Loyalty Conference on December 1, 2008 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City!

This new one-day event, sponsored by ATM&Debit News and Cards&Payment will feature presentations from industry experts offering practical insights on how to identify, retain and grow the customers that drive franchise health and profitability.

Register for Reinventing Loyalty, and if you register with the promo code “50OFF”, you will receive a  $50 discount. This promo code must be entered to receive the discount online.  Or, call Glen Van Dusen at 212-803-6072. The offer is valid for new registrants only and will not be available onsite.

I’ll be attending and I hope to see you there……Bill Hanifin
