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.

Jodie... I'm not exactly sure, but if you can't, could you have someone ship a box to themself, then you go pick it up when it arrives?
 
Jodie, I am pretty sure surprise boxes can be shipped to anyone-
 
*Sigh* : ) I would love a conference update email as well. Thank you so much [email protected]
 
No one in my cluster is attending conference, so i would like to be added to the list.

I told you all that I was going to the NC this year (my 1st year) with my husband and daughter, we were taking a road trip. Well things were going great, we planned everything, including saving money staying with my husband friend in Chicage that he hasn't seen in about 25 years. Well we left a couple days earlier than excepted so that we could enjoy a few more stops before we got to Chicago

Well the first two days were great and my daughter was so excited about each stop we made and sometimes she didn't want to leave that stop. We told her that the next stop would be fun too so then she would say 'Okay - let's getting going to the next place'

Well then Monday night we stopped at this little dinner and had supper about 5:30 pm, we when went sightseeing there, Our motel that we were suppose to stay out were about another hour away but we never made it there. Lucy (my daughter) said that she was not feeling very well, so we stopped to get something to drink - gingerale. Well no soon as stopping there she really got sick - and I do mean got sick. Then we found a place to stay there in that small town - very nice place - and then about 10pm guess what - I got sick and I do mean sick. By the next morning, Tuesday, my husband had to ask the motel clerk where we could see a walk in clinic because me and Lucy didn't look very well. (I was still looking on here for updates - I am hooked so much to this website if you haven't noticed) Well Lucy and I went yesterday they said we had food poisoning - we ate chicken and my husband had a meatloaf dinner. We both were in this small clinic for about 10 hours - we had to have IV's because of being so sick and it was so hot they thought we were about suffer from dehydration (???) got out last night about 11:15pm called my sister to give her an update about the situation and she said that my dad is sick and is refusing to go to the hospital. So guess what - we are some what rested and are heading back home - this will be my last post until we get home. (on the way up here whenever we stopped I tried my wireless internet and sometimes it worked great) but this time I am going to rest and sleep as much as possible. This really took the fun out of this vacation for the family. Please send me all the updates as possible - about Paige and Conference - and I will check them when I get back home.

Thanks for listening to this I know it was long. Now I have to contact my director and tell her that I won't be there at NC - ouch.

Thanks

Oh, I do hope you are feeling better! I'm sooo sorry to hear you are missing NC.:(
 
Teresa I hope you and your daughter are feeling better.
 
I am so sorry Teresa. I hope you are all feeling better soon. I will keep you in my prayers.
 
oh Teresa, I'm so sorry! I feel so bad for you! I will pray for you and and your entire family!
;)
 
Oh No Teresa! That is awful. Both DH and I got food poisoning about 6 months ago and we were fighting over who got to the bathroom first most of the night - and it leaves you so lethargic. I am so sorry - you and your daughter please try to rest and get better and I will keep you in my prayers.
 
Well, won't be able to get a surprise box brought back with anyone since they left for wave 2 early this morning and i thought about this last night.

Don't they have cell phones? You could call them.
 
I would love to be added to the list. I couldn't attend conference because my 19month old daughter broke her leg...sigh.
Thanks

So, if this is about "gossip" ... am I getting the vibe that NO ONE is leaking any information to anyone??? I was really looking forward to finding a few nuggets out.

I cannot BELIEVE that no one is willing to give info to those of us that were not fortunate enough to make it to conference!! Or atleast that we haven't heard yet! I know there are those willing... BUT WHERE ARE THEY??? LOL!!! I am dying from anticipation!
 
Doris gets on stage and asks all of us not to leak any information until wave 3 is over. I, for one, will honor her request. The past two years I was in wave 1 and did not tell anyone anything. This year I am in wave 3 and so I patiently wait.

JMHO, but if you did not make the commitment to go to conference and find out for yourself, then you can wait until your special edition Consultant News arrives or wait until your director calls you to share.

It IS very exciting! So exciting that I'm going downtown tonight to meet up with Kristi and other wave 2 Cheffers! I just hope that no wave 1-ers are still around and if so, they better keep their traps shut! :)
 
I wish I lived closer! Have a great time tonight!

I understand that, really I do. I have been to conference before and had a great time. I however, could not make it this year as I know is the same for many others. All I want to know is what is new and being retired. I still won't get the experience of the first "Ahhh..." or get to see them even, and I won't have experienced all that conference has to offer either, so I don't feel that those who went are shortchanged at all. I realize that there are others out there that have alterior motives for wanting to know what the new products are... I am not one of them though and I don't think the majority of people requesting info are either. I guess if it comes I will be so thankful, if not, I will just have to ly in wait. Won't kill me, however, I know that the sooner I know, the sooner I will be excited and ready to get motivated to kick start my business!! I appreciate your opinion, that's just mine ;)

I do not think it has to do with "commitment." I would love to go but funds do not allow for me to do so no matter whether I really want to go or not. For some people it is just not feasibly possible.

I realize that we can all wait, but I also know that last year we knew it with Wave 1 too if we wanted to know and that it did not hurt anyone. And it was all done through emails not posted here, so, that was not spoiling it for anyone that did not request the emails.

I mainly want to know the retiring stuff to start boosting my sales to get people to get them before they are gone. And I want to know what I earned in SellaThon.

I personally think Doris is meaning do not spoil it for anyone in the other waves, not for those of us unable to go. I TOTALLY agree with no spoiling for those that get to see and feel it up close and personal. But is a person wants to be "spoiled" I think that is their decision.

Just IMHO.:D
