How soon should I book my airfare to the retreat?
We kindly request that you book your airfare as soon as possible. As a reminder, airfare booked within 21 days of the event or on an airline not offering the lowest non-refundable rate will need to be approved in advance by Kyle Day.
What day should I plan to arrive?
If your practice group is involved in this year’s Practice Group Conference, we ask that you arrive in time for a reception on Thursday, April 16. All other meetings planned at the retreat have been scheduled to accommodate travel to Arizona on Friday. Requests to travel and stay at the hotel prior to Friday are reviewed on an individual basis, and subject to approval. If you have questions, or extenuating circumstances of which we should be aware, please contact Michael Ponzio or Justin Barganski.
