The team at Aviation Business Strategies Group and FBO Connection bloggers, John Enticknap and Ron Jackson, will be attending the 2015 NBAA Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference next week in San Jose, Calif., and would love to touch base.

We’ll be conducting the Preconference Exhibitor Session on Tuesday, Feb. 3, at 5:15 p.m. in the Convention Center Exhibit Hall that will include a brief overview of our Annual FBO Industry Survey for 2015. Many of you have participated in this survey, and we thank you very much. We think you will be a little surprised at the results, so we encourage you to attend.

During the S&D Conference, please visit the AC-U-KWIK booth — 1723, 1725 and 1727 — and take a peek at our new ebook that is coming out: FBO Survival! 10 Tips to Keep Your Operation Lean, Mean and Profitable.

Also, please save the dates of March 9-10 for our acclaimed NATA FBO Success Seminar at the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas. We hope to see you there as well.

Lastly, we’d like to thank the good folks at Euro Jet for having us as guest speakers at their training event in Prague on January 14 and 15. They are a great group of people, and we enjoyed bringing our Don’t Forget the Cheese! customer service training program to this part of the world.

See you at SDC2015.

John and Ron
