Track Speakers & Board Members

Do you have a keynote speaker or board member flying in the day of the event? If you need to know their flight status in order to gauge whether the situation reaches 'code red delays,' you can easily track flights using several tools:

http://flightaware.com/ - this site shows live flight activity on a map

http://flightview.com/ allows you to track information via your mobile device

If you don't have easy access to a computer screen (or blackberry/IPhone), send a text message to either Google (466453) or 4INFO (44636) with the airline and flight number to get the status texted back to you immediately.

Another benefit is an unlimited amount of staff can subscribe to flight status tracking so that people aren't dependant on one individual receiving updates from the speaker/board member.

Safe travels!
