Are the classes at regional and national conferences different?

[chefmoseley]

I am signed up to go to my regional meeting in Baltimore but don't have an agenda or any real details about what will happen at the 'meeting'. I want to register for National but have been putting it off b/c I don't want to sign up for the same classes at both conferences. Are the classes completely different and one doest affect the other? I would really like to know. Thanks for all you're help. I just want to optimize my learning potential (for example if we are learning about bookings in regional i might not take the booking course in National)

 

[chefann]

Regional won't have separate classes like National does. When they were held a couple of years ago, the Regional covered general stuff- a little each on recruiting, booking, product tips, etc.

National Conference has much more specialized workshops that you can choose based on the area of your business you want to improve. Like Ann said, the Regional Meetings are much more general and inspirational.

Planning to attend both! Looking forward to them.

I guess I'm wondering what the difference is between regional and the spring regional I went to in Ohio a few months ago.

My closest regional is out of state ... on a weekday ... I'm really not sure I can attend.

 

[chefann]

The one you attended a few months ago was probably organized by an upper level director in your upline. This set of regionals will all cover the same material, and will be led by trainers from HO.

**YAWN** to be honest ... I'm not sure I want to get up early enought to meet the carpool!

I just got clearance from DH that he can play taxi that day with the kids so I just registered! Oops...I guess I should have taken off work first! Time to go put that in!

 

[pampermejolene]

I just started my business and I'm going to both. I figure its a good way to get a jump start on my biz

 

[momoftwins]

Thanks for sharing that agenda Ann!

 

[legacypc46]

Thanks for sharing the agenda. I couldn't find where that information went to (I have a terrible email filing system....uh, I actually have no email filing system).

I was just wondering how I was going to get everything done I need to do this week and whether I should really drive the two hours to spend the day at Regional. Now, I'm pouring the coffee and getting my tired self ready to go.

Bless you for the timing Ann...I might have decided not to go if I hadn't seen the agenda again.

 

[chefann]

I'm so excited to go!! Of course, I'm sitting here in my jammies, waiting for DH to get out of the shower. And then I have a million things to do before we head to Lansing (I'm driving a car full).

 

[chefann]

Regional was AWESOME!! There are a lot of small group activities in the plan, so you get to practice what HO teaches. If you haven't already registered for a May 6 session, and have a chance to go, do so!

 

[chefmoseley]

Do It, Do It, Do It!!!GO TO REGIONAL IT WAS AWESOME! I learned so much at regional today! I had a lot of fun and learned some new ways to implement some strategies I did meet some new people and felt it was very much worth the 50 dollar investment! Just imagine national is 3 days of the same time of training I am so excited!

 

[pampermejolene]

I thought I was already excited for national! Now, after attending Regional, I'm super excited! WaHOO!!!
I wonder if we'll see Helen BeGeneres there! hahah!

 

[chefmoseley]

I know that was too funny
