If you find that you know you can't go you just need to tell PC and the amount you have saved is added to your next month-end check.chefann said:No, they refund it in your next commission check.
chefann said:This year, early bird was $175. A few years ago, it was $150. But I'm sure that things like the shuttle buses and food go up, and HO has to cover those expenses.
Conference hotels usually end up around $200 a night after taxes. But if you put 4 in a room, it's not too bad.
AZPampered Chef said:I went to the National Conference this year in July, and it was awesome. I was still in my first 60 days when I went, and learned so much. I had already decided that I want to go to National Conference next year, but when I mentioned it to my director she told me that I definitely need to go to the Leadership Conference. I am *very* close to being a future director--my 2nd is supposed to sign tomorrow.
How do you guys feel about going to every singleConference offered by PC? I'm happy that I went to NC, however, that cost me close to $800, and I would like to start making some money in this business before I shell out another huge chunk.

AZPampered Chef said:That's a good idea. For those who have been to both, how do they differ?

Kitchen2u said:Leadership is on a smaller scale only available to Future Directors and above. I personally like Leadership better because it's gear towards just that...Leaders! If you are a FD and want you business to get to the next level, I HIGHLY reccomend Leadership. If your mind and goals are in the right place ~ it's definitely worth the 2nd trip!

This was my 1st year so I told my DH I was going, I was paying for it with my PC earnings and IT will Boost my biz! So he didn't object after my announcement!Christ Follower said:Sounds great but how do I explain the expense to my DH? He's not even sure he wants me to go to next years conference! We're over here in California and that's a good chunk of change for us.![]()
I wanna go! (whinny voice)
ChefJeniLobdell said:If early bird is $175.00, when you sign up for conference cash club can you pay $175.00, or do you have to pay the $200.00?
I know! I think that's the third thread today that we were typing the same thing in response at the same time!finley1991 said:Thanks Ann!
I think we're sharing a brain today!
You need to come on the Mega Bus with us! My round-trip was $17 this year.finley1991 said:I've done conference club since they've started it. Works so much better for me with my show schedule. That way I only have to worry about airfare and or hotel when the time comes.
I hear you! I'm in California too and it's an arm and a leg to go to Leadership but it's worth it. I know a Director who's husband was opposed to PC and even said he "hated PC!" Everything changed when she earned her first incentive trip and took him on a cruise. When they got back he agreed to talk to her team at her training meeting about the wonderful experience he had and added that "he couldn't wait to go on the next trip." LOL There's a goal for you!Christ Follower said:Sounds great but how do I explain the expense to my DH? He's not even sure he wants me to go to next years conference!

It's a way to save for transportation and spending money. HO refunds the unused portion to you. And since spouses can attend conference (but not Leadership), you can use some of it for DH's registration.PCwithStay-C said:What is the extra $ for?? If conference is $200 then the extra $350 (if you do $550) is for what exactly??

They block out rooms at usually 3 hotels. They're typically about $150 a night before taxes. Many clusters share rooms - 4 people in a room = less per person.PCwithStay-C said:Does everyone stay in the same hotel? Or do you just stay wherever?? I know some conferences block out rooms in hotels, does PC do this?
I think that's what I paid last year, too! It definitely frees up some cash for spending money.finley1991 said:We did MegaBus too but I didn't book early enough... my ticket was $30. Last year I scored though... $9.50 round-trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
chefann said:I think that's what I paid last year, too! It definitely frees up some cash for spending money.And because I work downtown, my cluster drives down and we use my parking pass to park the car, so nobody has to pay for it.
