Conference Secrets: Stay Ahead of the Game with Insider Info

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers around attendees of a conference expressing their desire to receive insider information about the event, particularly those in Wave 3 who feel left out compared to earlier waves. Many participants, unable to attend due to personal commitments, request to be added to an email list for updates. The consensus among attendees is that while some want to know the details beforehand, others believe it is more enjoyable to experience the surprises live at the conference. The discussion highlights the emotional investment and anticipation surrounding the event.

I know that you can't post anything on here about the gossip from conference but is there anyone out there who is emailing all the new stuff after they hear it? I am in wave 3 and hate that all of you Wave 1 and 2'ers will know everything before me. Add me to your list!!!

Thanks in advance!!! katie
 
Honestly, Katie, you may not want to find out. I was in wave 3 last year & happened upon a thread mentioning the Empowering Women magazine. It was kind of a let down when I went & already knew about it. So, as hard as it is, you may just want to try to wait & find out by yourself at conference!
 
I would be in Wave 1 if I had not had other plans this year but would love for someone to email me info......any takers??? I will PM you my email!
 
Katie~

You are attending conference in Wave 3? If you are attending DO NOT SNEAK ANY INFO!!! You will ruin the surprise!

Now, last year I wasn't able to attend and I got secret telling emails... so for thost who can't attend, snoop away!

If you are attending- don't do it man!
 
Don't give in! It's so much more fun trying to figure it out on your own and being surprised when it's all revealed live and in-person!
 
Please, Please, Please add me to the list too! I am unable to go to conference b/c my baby is turning 1! I would love a sneak peak of what is coming out!
[email protected]!!!!

THank YOu Thank You Thank You!!!! Stephanie
 
I would love to know too. I can't attend either. Please add me to the list. [email protected]

Thanks

I also cannot attend. I would appreciate any scoop that you are willing to share!
 
I AGREE>>>
If you are going...DON'T find out before you go...
That is part of what you are paying for in going... the surprise and excitement!

For those of you that are unable to go to conference but want to I highly recommend hitting any tapes, CD's and other training materials ou have or can borrow as well as the online info and telecourses. It's fine to get the secrets but it will also help you get pumped up too That's what I did last year when I couldn't go.
 
I am definitely doing that! I have the DVD from conference last year - that I went too and I still like to watch it! And the CD should come in our change-over kit - or first supply package.

Someone also posted conference notes from a class or two last year.

thanks for the tip!
 
Me Too Please Thanks
 
I don't have time right now to compile a list - but when I get back, I'll post an "okay" to send me your email, and I'll send some spoilers to THOSE WHO CANNOT GO TO CONFERENCEIF you are in Wave 2 or 3 - you really need to wait for your wave!I just remember how frustrating it was to not be able to go to conference for reasons beyond my control......and my disappointment at missing conference was assuaged a bit by having someone willing to give me the scoop!:D
 
I have borrowed lots of info from my director and I also get another training CD with each supply order
 
Thanks Kathy, that's a great idea. I just got a bunch of CDs from my hospitality director (who had better be selected for the Hospitality Award!).

I also have an open calendar since I had planned to go to NC (hence no shows this week). I guess I'll put together my own little training conference and see what great tips and motivating ideas I can pick-up.

I'll even wear my ChefSuccess button!:D
 
That's a great idea! I have a stack of CDs that I've been wanting to listen to. I'll make the time and have my own conference! Thanks!
 
If you PM me, I will compile a list for Becky, of those people, like me, who can't attend conference, but would still like to be "in the know."

You and ME!!! With our buttons!!! At our favorite place? Name the day and time!
 
When the list gets compiled, I would love to be included. Like so many others, I am unable to go this year because of finances.

It is killing me. I have gone the past two years, after becoming a consultant 3 years ago, and had a blast. I loved finding out the surprises, and the latest news.

Some of my friends leave today for conference. I will have to keep myself busy so I can keep my mind off of conference. Everyone who is going, have an AWESOME time!!

I so want to know also! I can't attend because my husband can't get off to go to Chicago and watch the kids. [email protected] Thanks!
 
Add me to the list. I am not able to go myself.
 
A few years ago I was was session 3 and had gotten into Chicago and checked into the hotel. My roommate and I decided to grab some lunch at the outside cafe of the hotel (Hilton) and my mom who was also in Chicago visiting at the time came to meet us. We sat down and suddenly lots of consultants arrived to have lunch as well. Our session of conference was to start the following day... the consultants arriving for lunch had just come from closing general session. So of course we saw the bag... but then, as the consultants were sitting around us, they all started talking from table to table about what they loved and what they were excited about (and actually, it was the year they announced the new commission structure) and I was like, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" and covering my ears because I didn't want to hear. My mother on the other hand was like,"SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I want to hear what they are saying!!!!!"
 
Thanks me too

This is the first time I could not go in a few years due to DH work Thanks for the info I 'm sure we will still all be very hppy withall of the new info
