Mentoring and information sharing between generations. Do you really know how your employees feel? Both of these can go under an "Under Cover Boss" theme weekend. The president of Belfor disaster restoration was actually on the National Show "Under Cover Boss". Just food for thought.

Have a small welcome packet for registered spouses. Just giving them a name tag does not make them feel very welcome. A small goody bag with a bottle of water, snack, and itenarary would at least make them feel that they were a part and not just a tag-a-long.

6. What did you think of the venue? Do you have any venue recommendations?
Wild Dunes was nice. I thought the rooms would have been nicer but they were ok. Also the lunch at the Sip N See tour was not that great. The food overall was ok. I guess we were expecting more local cuisine.

I was also disappointed the bar was moved in our exhibit room. I always try and position our booth near the bar and it was moved from the original posting on the website prior to the conference.

Make sure to keep the exhibitors happy. I have been to may conferences and IIABSC by far has the best networking with the exhibitors.
