You have many options for getting into Austin for the 2006 NAFDMA Conference and Trade Show.

All Pre-Conference Bus Tours begin in San Antonio at the Sheraton Gunter Hotel and end in Austin at the Hyatt Regency Austin. Your tour registration includes breakfasts and lunches on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and dinner and a rodeo on Tuesday, tour stops, and tour materials. (Monday night’s dinner is on your own in historic San Antonio, and Wednesday night you’re on your own in lively Austin.) All bus tour registrants must ride on the bus. No exceptions.

On Sunday

  • Travel to the Sheraton Gunter Hotel in San Antonio.
  • Get settled into your hotel room. This is the room you will also have for Monday and Tuesday night, because you booked it yourself!
  • Explore the city.
  • Socialize in the NAFDMA tour registration and social room.
