Last year during wave 2, I counted about 10 other guys at Conference. Do we have any new male consultants and/or husbands going this year?
 
My clustermate's DH is going. He went last year. Not sure what wave they were in then.

I'll be there, but at wave 3!

At regional training in Baltimore, there were 4 male consultants there, out of probably at least 200.
 
One of my downline gals is bringing her DH.
So far my DH isn't coming this year -- but he will probably come next year.
 
I'm hoping that my DH will come, at least for Thursday evening. :D He'll promptly be on a train back home, so that won't help at all!

There's usually one (my first recruit) or two besides me at our spring and fall kick off meeting.
 
Last year in wave 1, there were a handful.
I will be in wave 3 this year.
 
Any of you guys looking for a guy to share your room? I have a new consultant that is considering going. Wave 3.

I'll be on a cot in a room full of ladies from my cluster. We have all known each other for a couple of years. Like being with relatives. Our spouses are staying home.

My hubby is planning on going again this year! I think this is like his 5th time. In fact, he made a comment to Jay one year that the spouses should get a years of service pin or "5th" conference pin or something like that

That's great that your husband goes with you. He should get an award for all of those years. What does he do while you're in your classes? Is he with you? I wish my wife would want to go with me. I have to plan my home shows when my wife is out of town. She's not a pc person.

You beat me to the punch!
 
My hubby is still up in the air about it. At first he wanted to, now he may be working that week (in Chicago). So he may still come for some things, just not as many as originally planned.
