EVERYTHING (travel, hotel, food, "extras", Merrill stuff, registration...) I have spent about $500-$600 each of the two years that I have gone. Now, mind you, I over indulge in PC clothing and eating out at special restaurants while there so you could CERTAINLY cut that back! If I were to do NOTHING extra (and how boring is that!) I could get it back to $400-$450PC_CPR said:Okay, I'm doing this partially to kill a certain thread. However, I was curious.... I know that there's a "savings" plan that HO offers. But in general, how much do you end up spending on Conference for room, incidentals, etc.? Planning for next year obviously.
How much to plan on spending at Nat'l Conference?

If you are in PC, even as a hobby, conference is well worth the money. Excluding air/hotel, my expeditures were $350. That said, I earned level 1 which was a $300 Visa card - so I was only out of pocket $50.
Sure, you can get anything you want on ebay - it isn't about the products, well, for most of us anyway. At conference, you learn from the best, so that you can be the best. I learned stuff that has helped me in my day job tremendously!!
PC_CPR said:Thanks Becky and Lamar. I'm definitely considering it. You know, it's funny, but I have attended a few conferences for things that are "hobbies" and a lot more for professional development in my regular "job". I have NO problem spending money on hobby-related meetings. But the beauty of PC--is that you can go from hobby to Director in a flash, right?!!! I just wanted to get an idea of how much money I had to budget for.
Registration for National Conference typically ranges from $200-$400, depending on early bird discounts and any additional events or workshops you choose to attend.
Aside from registration, you should plan on budgeting for travel expenses such as flights, hotel accommodations, and meals. There may also be optional events or workshops that require additional fees.
Yes, Pampered Chef often offers early bird discounts for those who register early. Occasionally, there may also be promotions or discounts available for certain groups or through specific channels.
Meals are typically provided during the main conference sessions, but you should budget for any additional meals you may want to have outside of those times. The cost of meals may vary depending on your personal preferences and the location of the conference.
At this time, there are no payment plans available for National Conference registration. However, you can reach out to our customer service team to discuss any specific financial concerns or questions you may have.
