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.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of conference structures and attendee waves.
  • Familiarity with email communication and list management.
  • Knowledge of event planning and attendee engagement strategies.
  • Awareness of the emotional dynamics in community discussions.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research effective email list management tools for event updates.
  • Explore strategies for enhancing attendee engagement at conferences.
  • Investigate best practices for maintaining confidentiality and ethics in event communications.
  • Learn about community-building techniques in online forums related to events.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for event organizers, community managers, and participants interested in maximizing their conference experience and understanding attendee dynamics.

I underatand some of the people's points about the commitment, but I also think that for those of us that didn't go for some unavoidable reason (I'm six monthes into a high risk pregnency and live in Germany, so going would not have been a good idea, no matter how badly I wanted to. And as I just promoted to director in May and would have got to walk across stage I wanted to badly) I don't think the personal e-mail was wrong - we all promised not to reveal the info. and spoil it for those who are in waves 2 and 3. Okay - that's my 2 cents.

Mine too -- My son kept getting mad b/c he would lose the wheel under the table everytime he pulled the cord! lol I don't remember him bringing it in the house, so I'm sure it's somewhere in my car now :)

... and now back to your regularly scheduled hijack...

My kids have lost the handles to the dumb things! They have the zip cords and wheels, but no handles. Of course, I'd rather be searching for the handles than having to listen to the gross noises that came from the toys when "Flushed Away" came out... Those were disgusting!

I couldn't agree more with Chris and I understand there will be folks that can't make it for reasons WAY more important than Pampered Chef. I never wanted anyone to think that your family obligations wouldn't take precedence over Conference, BUT there are those that won't make the committment because they can find out everything on loops and such. Why waste time and money when you are going to read about it here ( or elsewhere). You know that some folks get that attitude and we just feed the fire when we put stuff out there, including the PERSONAL emails.
Now, that having been said, it is KILLING me to know what the awesome September Host special is and I think I saw somewhere there is a recruiting special.....I am about to pee my pants to get to Chicago and find out more!

Besides the point, I read on here somewhere that Doris and Marla said together...
"What happens at conference, STAYS at conference".

Okay...back to the hijack about the toys.....
 
If someone has the personal email with the announcements from conference, I would love to receive it too. I am not going to conference this year.

My email is [email protected]

A little harsh there, Meg, if you ask me. Of course, the reason I "came up with" had to do with my husband being rushed to the hospital and having emergency open-heart surgery the day before I was scheduled to leave.

Sometimes the reason we come up with isn't just something we make up, or a rationalization. Sometimes it's a matter of priorities that can't be solved with babysitters, yard sales, walkers, wheelchairs, or crutches.

Oh gosh I sure hope your hubby is doing well........
 
If someone would be willing to e-mail me the secrets from conference (like what's new!) I would be thrilled!! I'm not going to conference this year (next year!) and I know this is the american one but they are very similar and I'm just too curious!

[email protected]
 
northern_sunshine, I just sent you a "teaser" email. Just a few highlights.
 
Ann-I wasn't able to attend conference this year...would you be willing to send me the "teaser" email also? I would be very grateful!! Thanks!My email is [email protected]Thank you so much
 
done!
Enjoy...
 
Okay, well, I have to say I sent someone an e-mail with every bit of information I could type out, but it was time consuming and I'm not doing it again. I don't know why she didn't go, and I don't care. I'm so excited about selling the dream and the opportunity that I didn't mind sharing some excitement. I did stop at scanning pictures and sending them. I don't have a scanner anyway.
 
I thought I was on the list for the email, but I haven't gotten anything...:((

I'm about to do it!! I can't wait.
 
We must have all waited for the weekend. :) DH's complaint was "no frosting?!?!?" But that's easy enough to make by mixing some powdered sugar and milk in a prep bowl.
They're a little better with an extra little dash of the pantry item on top.I made 1 batch - 1/2 in each flavor. mmm......OK- now the people who don't know are going completely insane trying to figure it out.
 
I was just gonna post this!

My kids and I are devouring them as we speak!!!

MMMMMMMMM.............................!
