Has the Economy Impacted Your Conference Attendance This Year?

[DebPC]

Has the economy affected your clusters conference attendence this year?

 

[Chef Kearns]

Nope! In my 6 years of business I've only had 1 of my team members attend conference. No one went last year and no one is going this year. Family vacations and no time off from work are the excuses I usually hear.

 

[chefkathy]

None of my team is going. Biggest excuse is childcare.As a result, I'm thinking of NOT staying at the hotel and just driving in each day. My sister director that I would like to room with is Hispanic Market and will likely be attending a different wave. I don't really feel like trying to room with anyone else, especially since I'll be 8 mths preggo.

i have 5 coming---yippee---3 consultants a team leader and a guest on a consultant---

Hey Krissy, right now we still have one spot avail in our room. Of course I'm trying to get a team member to fill it but so far nothin.

 

[PCJenni]

I have 1 for sure, 2 maybes right now. My sister director has 3 coming and a few maybes. This is the most we have ever had. I think the economy is helping... they actually want to make a go of the business... as a business and make money now rather than just a hobby

Thanks Kristi, I may take you up on that! I really appreciate the offer, just let me know if your team member decides to go...What time are you getting to Chicago on Wed? I believe my flight gets in around 11 sometime...

I just have one and childcare tops the reasons. Personally, with some (not all) it is hubbies that think their wife is going to paint the town red with the girls. Keep trying to tell him that there is hardly enough time to change clothes let alone "hang out" in Chicago!

 

[pamperedbecky]

I already have 3 of my consultants coming and I'm hoping for maybe a couple more. But of course they are all local. There are a couple from CA who I think would have come, but the economy IS what is preventing them from seriously thinking about it.

 

[Gagescorpages]

I have one team member going. That's it. Only a handful of people from our overall cluster. I am kind of bummed about it. It's definitely the economy for most of them.

Krissy, if you want it, its yours! I can't wait around any longer!!

My recruiter (cheftiffany who's on here) and I are sharing a room with my recruit and you if you want it!!

We're getting in at 4pm on Wednesday at Midway.....

 

[chefkugler]

Every year I only have 1 consultant go. This year I have 3 and one is bringing a guest. In our overall cluster under my Senior Director we have more going than in past years and more directors going as well.

 

[PamperedChefDebi]

Sandra (ChefKearns) and I have one more spot in our room for Wave 2!!

Sandra (ChefKearns) and I have one more spot in our room for Wave 2!!

My room is full but I have one more considering it. If she decides to come I'll check back with you to see if there's room still!

 

[jwpamp]

I have 4 (maybe 5) going....hopefully! I have one girl who may promote to Director by then.

Do they still "walk" at conference? I hope so! She is soooo excited!!

Sounds good Beth! Might want to contact Sandra directly cause she's coordinating the room and she'll have details I won't.
