Eleventh Annual Summit Checklist
 Here are a few details to help maximize your time at the Summit: Meet me under the TMPAA Banner – If you are coordinating meetings at the event, here is the best spot to connect. Tell your business partners to meet in front of the Vaquero Ballroom of the Hyatt Regency under the TMPAA Banner. A networking lounge and our registration table will all be available at that location. Registration table will be open Monday at 9:00am. Carrier Meet and Greet – this event is scheduled immediately following the President George W. Bush General Session on Tuesday, October 25 at 10:30 am. This event will ensure that Program Administrator attendees will be able to connect with all of our carrier members. Think of it as program business speed dating! Carrier Meetings – There are several hours of meeting opportunities with decision makers from our Carrier Partners on Tuesday from 1:00-5:00pm. Onsite contact information for carriers will be available at the TMPAA registration desk. Association Receptions – We have two evening Networking Receptions on Monday and Tuesday starting at 5:00pm. Plan to attend both! Workshops – Workshops are scheduled for Wednesday following the General Session. No pre-registration is necessary.

Please plan to take a few minutes out of your three days at our Summit to stop by our trade show table to either pack a box for shipping, or write a note to a Service person who will be receiving the package. Let us know if you have a family member to whom we can direct one of our packages. Thank you.
