Happy Holidays to everyone!

I wish that you can enjoy quality time with your families and beloved ones and may the new year bring you happiness and growth (hopefully not in clothing sizes.).

Okay, I have a question about PASS 2015. I can save a lot of money by registering for PASS 2015 now. My question is when do I make my hotel/flight reservations?
I would have thought the sooner the better or am I misunderstanding the question?
😎
I am just waiting for my end of year check before I register for PASS 2015. Just not sure if I should also make my hotel and airline reservations now or wait until closer to the conference. This will be my first time going to a PASS Conference.

I'd wait until a month or two prior to Summit 15.

So hotel and airline reservations around August?

Around about that time. Airfare doesn't typically increase until less than a month prior to the travel date.

Depends on the hotel you want to stay at. If you're looking to stay at the Sheraton, with all the cool kids (I don't stay there), make your reservation now. Other hotels, 3 months out usually works.
