We use the conference to help maintain our position as a first-to-market institution with regard to online banking solutions. The opportunity to see and learn firsthand about DI's new products and services holds real value for us. We make it a point to spend time in the Exhibitor area as well. It's a great way to gather information about additional products and services that could fill a gap in what we're currently offering our customers."

Getting Around
San Antonio has extensive public transportation (info here) as an alternate to cabs or rental cars. And whether you're interested in history, ghosts, food or seeing the city by Segway (an electric-powered transportation vehicle), there are numerous guided tours you can take advantage of in your free time. Find out more here.
Be sure to check out the hotel concierge desks for coupons and discounted offers on food and attractions or click here for printable coupons. Keep your receipts: many expenses can be tax deductible depending on your individual situation.
Packing Tips
Pack light and wear layers with a jacket as airplanes and meeting rooms can have temperatures that fluctuate. It can get chilly at night (mid-40°F) and therefore a comfy sweater is suggested. Check current conditions at www.weather.com. San Antonio is a great walking city, so a good pair of walking shoes is a must. Many airlines are charging for one bag, let alone two. If you can carry on, by all means do it.
