April 14Th~Registration..........

[PampMomof3]

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.

 

[janetupnorth]

Thanks Kristi! I have to fax mine in that day since I'm changing waves...is this the calendar on CC?

 

[PampMomof3]

Yes under the April CN!

 

[janetupnorth]

Found it...

 

[pamperedlinda]

That's weird that it is on a Saturday.

 

[janetupnorth]

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!

 

[pamperedlinda]

That's weird that it is on a Saturday.

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......

 

[PampMomof3]

Great Thinking Linda! What a spin on those thoughts!

 

[heat123]

ok so do we book online or call HO for registration and class sign up?

 

[chef_kimmo]

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

 

[pchefkristin]

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. Am I a dork or what?!

 

[PampMomof3]

That's too funny Kristin!!

 

[pcchris]

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)

I was thinking the exact same thing. I want my first choices for workshops & HO tour since this is my very first NC ever... I think I'll try at midnight CST to see if I can!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

Okay so I am having a moment here becasue I dont' remeber how to sign up for confernce... and if your using confernce club how does that work?

Ok sneaky girl.....where'd ya see that at?? I can't find it.

 

[hoosierchef]

Duh!! Never Mind!!! I See It!!! Whooohooo!

 

[PampMomof3]

No problem Tammi!!!

 

[DebbieJ]

When you register through CC it automatically knows how much you have in Conf Club and will deduct it from the reg fee.

 

[raebates]

I believe I'll have my DH wake me that Friday night when he gets home. (He works 2nd shift.) That way I can log on just after midnight. I can't wait! Oodles and oodles of happy cheffers!

[KellyTheChef]

OK, I want to be on at 12:00 CST! What is that in EST? 11:00PM??



I'm not a dork, either! LOL

 

[KellyTheChef]

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!

 

[PampMomof3]

I know Kelly! That will be 1 am here! UGH!!

 

[pchefkristin]

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.

 

[jwpamp]

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....

 

[janetupnorth]

Maybe they'll set you guys up with a time to register right there????

 

[smspamperedchef]

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?

 

[smspamperedchef]

I HATE leftovers. LOL

Last year, I wanted to change some classes at the last minute, and was able to change everything I wanted right at Conference.....nothing was "closed" for me...made me wonder if possibly they keep a few spaces open for last minute registrants?

 

[DebbieJ]

Yeah, I was able to totally switch my schedule around at my first conference, too.

Generally, the only things that go quickly are the HO tours.

 

[ange13]

Be prepared--I heard that registration actually opens on the 12th--which would be nice--i can't imagine it being on a saturday--but we'll see for sure soon enough. that's only two weeks away!!!!

 

[raebates]

I will be checking the site every morning next week. No, I don't have any OCD issues. Why do you ask?

That's how it went down for me at my first NC. I promoted at midnight - LITERALLY - she got her last show in at midnight - on June 30th. As soon as I got to the conference center and got my reg packet I wasable to switch to a bunch of director-level workshops.

 

[kimmers]

April 12th?I just pulled up the April calendar, and it shows registration opens on the 12th? I can't wait which ever date it is.

 

[ddcook]

MailingI recall last year, I received information in the mail a few weeks before registration opened. It listed the classes, teachers, times, etc. It was very helpful in planning. Has anyone received anything like this yet?

Thanks

 

[kimmers]

I haven't seen anything yet.

 

[Cindy Landon]

Has anybody received the preregistration mailing from HO?

 

[DebbieJ]

Got a postcard today saying registration opens April 12th. That's it.

 

[KellyTheChef]

nope!

I had the same situation last year! I could have changed the classes I signed up for when I promoted in June, but was told it would be best to take the regular classes. So I kept them and really regretted it! Promote fast and get whatever you can asap! You'll get so much out of it!

 

[PampMomof3]

OH Great! That really stinks! I hope I can get promoted quickly or all directors will have to share their notes with us! I want the training on those classes!!!

 

[kimmers]

Does registration open on the 12th for directors? The cn I got in the mail shows the 14th. I'm confused as always.

 

[smspamperedchef]

FYI, for some reason I can (maybe everyone can too!) view THE DIRECTORY (consultant news for Directors) online. I am not yet a director (but soon!). It stated that online registration opens on April 12th!!! Not the 14th. Just wanted all to be aware. I am surprised it hasn't been announced yet (or at least that I have seen.)

SMSPAMPEREDCHEF, when you promote, you can send an e-mail to HO asking to change the classes you signed up for to Director classes. That was the advice I got from my director 2 years ago, and it worked

Kim~

It opens for everyone on the 12th. I am a "regular" consultant and got the postcard in the mail today stating the 12th as well!

 

[Shawnna]

I didn't receive a postcard...and I still haven't received my Consultant's News. I hope they send us the registration packet out soon. I want to see what classes there are. I just promoted to FD and I am excited to start building my team.

 

[GourmetGirl]

I swear last year by this time we had our registration packets... I am so anxious to see what's being offered and to play around with the choices!
