FTU @ Travel & Adventure Show + FTU Advanced Chicago
You get admission to the Travel & Adventure Show on both Saturday and Sunday, PLUS access to the separate FTU Advanced event on Saturday that includes lunch.
This year’s FTU Advanced one-day event will come in a brand-new format: tables!
We will feature socially distanced tables with a cap of 30 people each where our expert speakers will cover subjects in a conversational way. This small group setting lets our participants ask questions and participate actively in the sessions. Check out the full schedule below.
