Heavy hitters Kathryn Finney of The Budget Fashionista and Melissa Meyers of AskMelissa.com, were spotted in the crowd.  New commercial director Kevin Matier introduced the brand message and various platforms to the audience; his presentation was very well-received (the next day, travel writer Mike Barish tweeted “@voyagetv did a great job selling themselves last night”).
