The Frequent Traveller University series is coming to Europe for the first time this November.

The event starts with a Cocktail Reception on Friday 21 November, and runs until the Sunday afternoon, 23 November.

I’ve been invited to do a two handed talk about Hyatt and Starwood hotels. I’m pretty good on Hyatt and hope to learn a thing or two about Starwood and some of the other great schemes out there. As with this blog, the FTU should have a good angle towards Europe with our limited access to points churning credit cards.

The organisers have arranged a selection of great speakers (excluding me of course), and I hope if you are in Europe and want to learn more about miles and points you think about coming.

The booking page is here.

The registration is US$199 with $39.99 for the Saturday night buffet dinner.

The event is out at the airport – hotels are hugely expensive in central Amsterdam at weekends – at the Park Inn. The hotel is offering a special rate of EUR89 per night, and of course this earns Club Carlson points for you.

So, if you’ve ever wondered what these things were like, and not wanted to venture across to the US, come to Amsterdam, I am sure it is going to be fun – and informative.
