San Antonio - the conference agenda designed based on your feedback:
FSPA Hospitality Suite - open every evening and an even larger suite than last year. It is “networking central”. Meet
here and get some refreshment - Susan has promised to bartend again this year! Pick up your registration packets or get
help downloading the conference app (yes, we have a conference app!) and find your friends!
Golf Tournament (Optional Event) - Thursday June 11th at The Quarry Golf Club - meet for 6:45 AM breakfast at the
hotel, then take the 7:30 AM bus to the golf course for an 9:00 AM shotgun start. (The start time was moved an hour later
at your request.). The front nine plays in a links-style format with rolling hills while the back nine is built in a 100-year-old
quarry pit with elevated tee boxes so even your shots will fly over large expanses. Lunch & prizes at the course.
New Members, Non-Golfers & Spouses Gathering - Thursday June 11th 9 AM - 11 AM. Every attendee is welcome to
get coffee, enjoy a continental breakfast and visit with friends in our FSPA suite.
Welcome to San Antonio Tour (Optional Event) - Thursday June 11th at 10 AM. As you requested - we have set up a
“Welcome to San Antonio” sight-seeing tour. The bus will pick you up outside the hotel lobby for a tour that includes a 30
minute tour of the Alamo, bus tour of the downtown sites, a 45 minute tour of Mission San Jose and a Tex-Mex lunch at
the Market Square before returning back to the hotel by 2 PM. Get to actually see San Antonio & learn about its history!
Social Media Open Discussion - Thursday June 11th 3 PM - 5 PM. Come share your social media strategies, issues
and successes.
Off-Site Event - Thursday June 11th at 7 PM - 10 PM. Dinner by the famous Don Strange of Texas (BBQ buffet including
their famous double-fudge brownies for dessert) at the Buckhorn Saloon & Museum. Its like stepping into the old west
when you walk in - so git your cowboy hat & boots on and get ready to party! With a 3 hour open bar - hee haw!
Business Meeting & Featured Speaker - Friday, June 12th 9:00 AM - 12:15 PM. The FSPA Business meeting starts at
9:00 AM. Come share your thoughts & vote on new items. Immediately following is our featured speaker presentation by
Rick Farrell of Tangent Knowledge. In a format suggested by the members, Rick will help you with your toughest issues.
Be a part of this focused discussion on tough business problems. “Help me, Rick!”
Roundtable Sessions - Friday, June 12th starting at 1:30. Six different roundtables are planned so that you have a
choice each hour of two diverse topics. FSPA-member subject matter experts & Rick Farrell will be session leaders. You
can plan your own agenda - another great idea from FSPA members.
Manufacturers’ Showcase - Saturday June 13th 9 AM - 3:30 PM. The premier event of the conference. Come see the
newest technology and the updates to traditional products offered by our great line-up of exhibitors. More than 6 hours of
dedicated time to find out what is happening in our industry right now and what the trends are for the future.
Spouse’s Tour (Optional Event) - Saturday June 13th 9 AM - 2 PM. The tour bus will depart the lobby at 9 AM. A quick
stop at the Alamo and the Menger Hotel will be followed by a tour of the Villa Finale in the historic King William district, a
tour of Mission San Jose, and lunch at the Blue Star Art complex with time for viewing the art collections and for shopping.
This tour has only the Alamo & Mission San Jose as duplicates of the “Welcome” tour, planned in case you do both.
Reception & Banquet: - Saturday June 13th 6:30 PM -10:00 PM. The final party of the conference. Filled with food,
hospitality and an incredible number of prizes - vendor raffle prizes, cash prizes, Waterford, and the FSPA member
awards. One last event to enjoy the fun and friendship of FSPA members.
And the conference theme for San Antonio is “When you climb in the saddle, be ready for the ride”!

Hotel Area Information
The hotel sits adjacent to the San Antonio Riverwalk, a network of walkways tracing the San Antonio
River as it winds throught the city. The Riverwalk or “Paseo del Rio” in Spanish, is a full story below
street level with lots of dining and shopping options. When you are ready to head back, hop on a
river taxi which will bring you to the steps to the hotel patio.
Rio Taxi’s follow a circular route and stop at every of the 39 stops along the way. You will see a “Rio
Taxi” sign on the front and a checkered flag on the back of each boat. There are tour boats that look
very similar so make sure to look for the Rio Taxi markings. Buy your tickets on board or at a Rio
Taxi booth. Current prices are One Way: $5.00, 24-Hour Pass: $10.00, 3-Day Pass: $25.00. For more
information, you can go to their website www.riosanantonio.com or call 210-225-8002.
Please make sure you take the time to ride a river taxi at least one evening - the view of the city lights
from the river is enchanting!
