Integrate With TripIt to Avoid Typing

Here at eSpeakers, we're fans of the free (paid plan available) TripIt service, which can assemble a nice itinerary when you simply forward your confirmation email from air, ground and hotel bookings.
EventCX can pull your travel plans from TripIt and tie them to an event, saving you the work of ever having to type those in.
