A late winter storm last week dumped nearly a foot-and-a-half snow on parts of Pennsylvania and resulted in the cancellation of thousands of flights to and from the northeastern United States. This meant that 17 speakers scheduled to appear at NAJ’s eTourism Labs event at the Hilton Hotel at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia had to cancel. Even so, nearly two-thirds of those registered to attend were able to make it to the event from all over the USA and see every speaker—in person or via Skype. Following is a sampler of photos of some of those who took part in the program, and from its opening night reception.
