I looked at the April Calendar and it says on April 14th (Saturday) National Conference Registration opens up!! Keep that date on the calendar!!!! It doesn't say anything about hotels though.
 
Thanks Kristi! I have to fax mine in that day since I'm changing waves...is this the calendar on CC?

Yes under the April CN!:D
 
That's weird that it is on a Saturday.
 
Maybe they have a "special crew" coming in that day just to handle registration???? ?????? That's what it says though...
 
Thanks for the info, Kristi!

After giving this a little more thought, they may be doing this to give those who work full-time a more even playing field when it comes to selecting workshops and hotel reservations......

Great Thinking Linda! What a spin on those thoughts!:D
 
ok so do we book online or call HO for registration and class sign up?
 
You can book and sign up online.

I haven't really needed anyone at home office to do anything.

Being a full-time worker as well, I think I really like this idea! Granted, I totally think if it was on a weekday, I would have just had to "schedule a dr's appt" for that morning :p
 
Well, I am going to be at my computer and ready! Two years ago, home office called me a few days after registration opened to let me know that I was the VERY FIRST person to register for conference that year. :D Am I a dork or what?!

That's too funny Kristin!!:p
 
This is a serious question...seeing as how I am an NIGHT OWL, does that mean that we can start signing up at 12:01 am on the 14th? Just curious...(and kinda being a smart-alec, too)

When you register through CC it automatically knows how much you have in Conf Club and will deduct it from the reg fee.
 
OK, I want to be on at 12:00 CST! What is that in EST? 11:00PM??



I'm not a dork, either! LOL
 
Ugh! I just checked...you ADD an hour here, not subtract an hour! I need to get on at 1AM!! Still, I want my choice of training classes!

I know Kelly! That will be 1 am here! UGH!!:eek:
 
Ladies... dont be losing any sleep! Last year it opened up at 10am CT. I would imagine they will do close to the same this year as well.
 
Ugh! I will be at the Director's Training Day at the Home Office that day! I'll have to bring my laptop and hope they have Wi-Fi....

Maybe they'll set you guys up with a time to register right there????
 
Question here too! I am a FD right now but most likely will be promoting to a Director by June 30th which is AFTER I register. Any idea how I can get all the Director workshops etc. when signups start or do I have to wait and suck it up and get the leftovers?
