There are 113 days until National Conference 2009, Wave 1Start thinking about how many rooms you need, if you want to reserve your room through exper. you need to do it the first day, so your not put on a waiting list. Remember 1st night down. If you do a non conference hotel & book online it's all upfront.
 
YAY Just booked my flight for Conference! I got it $89 each way through SW leaving from Albany NY!! WOO HOO!! Sooo excited!!

Flights dropped this week for us too. I got R/T out of San Fran for $220. That's the cheapest I have ever seen to Chicago. Remember registration opens in 2 & 1/2 weeks. Fill your April, so you can earn conference for FREE!

Just get on line on that day.. go to the national conference link and you can read about all the workshops and pick what you want... warning the website might be bogged down because we are all on there trying to get registered too! No need to call though, just do it from PC's website... super easy!;)

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
how exciting! I can't wait! I will be purchasing my ticket in the next 10 days! my best friend & her husband are pilots and they get me deals and she uses her credit card, (gives her deals), and then I just pay her in 2 payments and all is good!
she has done this for me every year and it works out great for the both of us!
Now I just need to get motivated and quit havng family issues and book my April up really strong, so I can earn either 1/2 price or all the registration for free! :D
 
I have a little dilemma now...our dance school girls may go to national competition...which is the same dates as conference:cry: Not sure what we're doing yet...
 
Oh that stinks! Well, I mean I guess it's great for your dancers! :D
