Who May Find This Useful

Consultants looking to connect with others attending the event or those interested in shared experiences related to planning and attending conferences may find this discussion relevant.

How do you find out about the banquet and any theme? Is it for all consultants? I think back when I attended conference the first time around selling PC my director actually went, so I just went where she told me to go. I'm going alone this time, and I'm wondering if I'm going to be lost and confused.
 
If the banquet you're attneding has a theme, it should be communicated by your upline. It's up to each ED (and higher) to determine if they want to have a theme for their own banquet. Since you're going alone, I'd check with your Director to see if she knows anything, and ask if she can put you in touch with her director.

Don't be lost and confused! We have the same upline, so I can keep you informed of everything! (Yvonne Mattson, right?) So far, I haven't heard anything about a theme - we did have one last year though, so may still hear about it! And you can always hang around with us! We are a FUN bunch, if I do say so myself!:D

Just found out my dir isn't coming to NC... she has to have surgery on the 9th... First I have a room, then I don't, then I do, but don't have a ride, then I find out I've actually had a ride all along, but my dir forgot to tell me. NOW my ride is having surgery and isn't going and for some reason that I don't understand, cancelled the room reservation instead of transferring it into the name of one of the three of us that are still going and were planning to sleep there!!! Errrrrrr! I think one of the other girls will be driving and my upline has an extra room somewhere! I'm seriously thinking about taking a tent and camping out at McCormick center!!!!!
 
Katie- My cluster probably has a spot open in our room (Hilton).
 
I have a spot left too, but just for Monday and Tuesday nights. Let me know if you need it! We'd love to have you join us.:)

**Check out the master list of workshop registrations that I created on the "Post your workshops" thread...

And, thanks for the offers for rooms. I'll let you know as soon as I can get through to my upline (she is OOT right now) and find out about her extra room! I think it is so neat that even without ever meeting, I have found friends that would be willing to share a room with me! What a great place CS is!!!!!

Don't worry it will all work out.. I had similar issues the first time I went to Conf. I can't even get into it now but it was a major pain. All in all it worked out fine.

At our last cluster meeting, my upline asked everyone who was going to conference to stand up... of course I stood! Then she asked us why we were going to conference. Before she even had the question finished I said, "It's four days away from my kids and Brian! Oh wait, did I say that out loud? Of course, I mean to help grow my business... yeah, that's it."
 
LOL.... I have been home for two days with a very sick little girl...... I am so ready for four days away from my daughter and my husband and to help grow my business...... LOL

So sorry to hear about your "D" troubles! My 3yo DS has the opposite problem and is now on a Rx laxative to help correct it. The first few days, it worked REALLY well and I spent all of my time either in the bathroom with him or in the laundry room... so his MD agreed with me that we should cut the dose in 1/2. He is doing better, but still isn't regularly regular! We get to go to the MD again next week! oh... boy... Can you hear the excitement in my typing?? Hopefully your DD will be feeling better soon!
