Now we can't post any workshop information or conference information until the evening of July 18. NO SPOILERS for our Wave 3 folks. I am kind of glad I am not in Wave 1 or 2 because keeping big secrets is tough!

I am not that great at note taking but I want to know everything about the workshops that I can't go to - Wish I could go to everything
 
I'll be posting my notes from Wave 1 as soon as it's legal!!

The only problem with that is that once the 3rd wave is over, it's a free-for-all, plus everything is posted on the PC main site.....and if it's like last year, a Recruiting Incentive started in July - but we didn't know what it was until Conf.......I can't imagine that people will be able to refrain from discussing - especially since we will be able to tell all of our hosts, guests, etc.......

Kathy~ I am also taking this workshop in Wave 2, when it is legal I will share my notes as well. :)
 
I am taking it during Wave 2 also. I will look for you Krissy.
 
Please, no spoilers for us wave 3'ers! It's so exciting to hear it all there. Plus, you have to promise Doris on the last day not to tell;)
 
I wouldn't dream of spoiling things for Wave 3 people. But, when the time's right, I'll be glad to share my notes.
 
Didn't someone offer to share with those that weren't attending conference (or leadership) if they sent the one who would share, their personal e-mail? That way it is off the loop. I am in Wave 2. It is so funny...if you are in Wave 1 it seems like an ETERNITY until we can share. When you are on Wave 3 you feel as if everyone but you knows it all. Everyone will only share how excited they are. It reminds me of being a child at Christmas!! So hopefully, being in Wave 2 will be just right!!
