Today is June 30. There are only 10 days until the official start of National Conference.If you’ve been to National Conference before, is there someone in particular you’d be looking to see again? If so, why not message them on here or on Facebook, through text, on Telegram, or whatever?

Today is July 1. There are only 9 days until the official start of National Conference. One year, in order to be able to find one another in the crowd, our team wore giant parrot hats. I’ve seen matching shirts, pennants, and more to aid in finding your team. If NC were being held in person this year, how would you most like to find your team?I’ve got to admit, the parrot hats were a lot of fun.
 
Wahoo as Jean would say! Only 7 more days (we're checking into the hotel Wed. afternoon so we can be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for Tasty Tidbits). I usually catch up with members of Shan's team only by running across them in the mob - unless we're at a team meeting. LOL!

Today is July 2. There are only 8 days until the official start of National Conference.Are you thinking of purchasing new PC gear? I’m hoping they’ll offer some deals on fun accessories, though I don’t have anything particular in mind.

Today is July 4. Happy Independence Day! There are only 6 days until the official start of National Conference!The livestream will take place in central daylight time. If you aren’t in that time zone, will you need to adjust your schedule? I’m in the eastern time zone, so NC won’t be early for me. But if you live in the mountain or pacific time zone, you might think about adjusting your wake-up time so you won’t be getting up especially early to view the livestream. One advantage of the livestream is that if you are viewing from home you won’t even have to change out of your jammies.

Today is July 6. There are only 4 days until the official start of National Conference!This may sound odd, but think about how you’ll dress. While it’s true that you can attend in your jammies, that’s usually not the best idea. You’ll want to be comfortable, but even changing from jammies into sweats or shorts and a t-shirt can help your brain make the switch to work mode.

Today is July 7. There are only 3 days until the official start of National Conference!Be prepared to turn your cell phone to vibrate during the livestream. Don’t allow anything to distract you. Though, I understand they’re calling winners, so you’ll want to have it close by in case you’re one of the winners.

Today is July 8. there are only 2 days until the official start of National Conference!Gather everything today. Make sure you know exactly what you want at hand, so you won’t have to miss a minute of the fun.
 
If you haven't printed out the agenda, do so. Pre-conference, with a variety of sessions/classes, starts tomorrow at 10:00 a.m Central Time. Because I was prepared to GO to conference, I've blocked off the time to participate in these classes. I know that if I don't treat it like conference time, the likelihood of going back later to view them plummets.

Yes! I took Thursday and Friday off, and I'll be with a couple of other people at a shared workspace so I an focus on the training.

Nope. That's not what this thread was for. Once the conference starts, my work here is done.

I didn’t necessarily mean one THIS thread....I meant in general.
