I really want to go, but not sure of the cost. I should def. earn 1/2 price with my FR in April, but don't think I will have a recruit by the conference.
I don't even know what wave I am in:)

Becky - ask your director...your wave is dependent on who your upline is. We are grouped by Executive Directors and Senior Executive Directors.

You should DEFINITELY go! You'll enjoy it, get to see the new products, meet tons of people, it is great!

Don't worry about having a recruit, at 1/2 price, it is more than worth it, you get free stuff and you can right off the rest as a business expense for training come tax time.
 
just booked my flight!! I am sooo excited!!!

You're forgiven (and by someone much more important than Kelly and me ;)). I'll chalk it up to the fact we think, "Gee, I haven't met anyone," when what we mean is, "There are so many more I want to meet!"

Oh - and Diane - I'm looking forward to meeting you too!

Hopefully, you'll remember it afterwards!:D :p :D
 
HA!!!!!!!! I'm looking forward to meeting you too! Rae and Kelly's smiles are SO precious that my memory should NOT have failed me!!!! Rae gave me my CS Star to put on my name tag too so I've really got NO excuse!
We'll just have to have so much fun together that the memory can't possibly fade! Like... what CAN we plan....hmmmm... let's just make sure we don't get into trouble! We'll just make certain to take photos so that I can have the visual I need later!

US? Get into trouble? I can't even imagine it!

As soon as all of the official info is posted as far as hotels, and we know where the majority are staying - we really need to plan a Meet N Greet. I never get there until the day conference starts, so I don't have that extra night everyone else seems to have. Last year, I was sick the first night, and needed to go to bed - so I never got to meet everyone. This year - I'm coming no matter what!

Of course, several of us already know we are in the same Executive Banquet - so we'll get to hang out then too! YEA!!!


Argghhh! Is it July yet? I'm already getting so excited for Conference!
 
It CAN'T be July yet... I have to earn TPC and my directorship first so that I can walk that stage!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE... don't rush me! :) jk
 
Um, I'm not agreeing to any pictures until I have ALL the details, thank you very much. ;)

That is a very good point Rae! I concur!

I may have to see if I can get one before NC. That way you'll all recognize me. :D
 
What time does conference start on the 10th? I need to decide which day to drive down...trying to maximize my vacation time with family too...
 
I think last year it started at 1 p.m. Could be wrong, though. And, even if I'm right, that doesn't mean it will start at the same time this year.

Hmm...will have to wait and see then...need time to get the kids settled at mom's house...but don't want to wake up TOO early to drive.

Trying to decide to come the day before and stay overnight at mom's house or come the day of, drop the kids and spend time with them AFTER conference...

Decisions, decisions...
 
I'll be driving in the day before with my director. That's her standard operating procedure, and it I like it. It gives us plenty of time to settle in, have a nice dinner, and do a little sightseeing.
 
I'm so happy to see that so many of you that I've admired for so long on here are going to Conference, and are in Wave 1...'cause I am, too!!

We're supposed to get details posted on the website on Tuesday, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how much the hotels will be, as well as the list of classes to be offered!!

I hope I can meet some of you there, too!!

Blessings,
Paula
 
How awesome!So far, the half price registration is not looking likely, even though I'm half way there. I do have ONE potential booking ... but she has not committed to a date in April, let alone given me a guest list, and I've called her recently and feel it's best not to push her. But we DO get that extra tax refund so ....IF I go I will drive Miracle Car, head out on Thursday, stop in Indiana to visit some friends and drive in to Chicago the next morning. They're about 3 hours away from Chicago and it's actually their closest airport!I have some potential family stuff going on that could also throw a monkey wrench in the works ... to make a REALLY long story short ... I may become a guardian of my 12-year-old nephew ... and if that happens, I don't even know how I'd handle child care while I'm at WORK ... my parents can only do so much!
 
I'm seriously considering it, but it's not 100% yet. :)

It will be my first time!!
 
I want to go so badly, but I'm not sure it will be doable financially. I'm trying to work out all of the details and see about saving the money, but I know the longer I wait the higher airline prices and everything will go up.

I have a question. I was just looking at the hotel info, and it seems like you have to have the names and consultant numbers of everyone you are rooming with before making your reservation. So does that mean if I wait a little while that I won't be able to join in with anyone else who has already booked? I was hoping to either join someone in my cluster or post here if someone has an extra spot, but I won't have the money for a little while. If I can't join in with someone, and I would have to pay for my own room, I don't think it would be doable for me. Does anyone know?

You can wait and register for a hotel.

Some people book a room with 2 people, then add 2 later, things like that...
