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?

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?
 
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.
 
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!!!!
 
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.
 
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.
 
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
 
I haven't seen anything yet.
 
Has anybody received the preregistration mailing from HO?
 
Got a postcard today saying registration opens April 12th. That's it.

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!

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

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!
 
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.
 
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!

Wow Kelly - You have awesome mail service to get mail on Easter Sunday...:p

(I'm assuming you were just too busy to get to yesterday's mail. - LOL!)
 
registration packetsHas anyone called Home office to see why we haven't received the registration packets yet? I know I had mine by now last year. I've got an email in to them, but am sure I won't hear back until AFTER registration starts... :eek:
 
so if it opens on the 12th, what time does it open???
 
Sometime in the morning... whenever they get it up and working, i think the goal is to have it open at 8 or 9am, but when is anything ever up and working right on time? :)
