With a little over a week to go until World Routes opens in Chicago, we have put together a list of top tips to ensure that you are fully prepared for the event.
Preparing for your Meetings
All delegates with pre-scheduled meetings should now be able to view their draft diaries online.
Company profiles on Routesonline can provide you with a wealth of information about the company you’re meeting with. Make sure your own company profile is kept up to date and start connecting with other delegates on Routesonline in the weeks leading up to the event. Initiate new, or continue existing dialogue with prospective customers ahead those all important meetings, whether pre-arranged or not, which will take place in Chicago.
Earlier this week Routes, in partnership with ASM and Flightglobal, delivered a webinar giving delegates the opportunity to hear from industry specialists advising on the perfect presentation ahead of World Routes 2014. If you missed it, don’t worry you can download it here.
