When is the best time to attend the National Conference?

[kncmurray]

I am still up in the air about attending conference this year. I really want to go (this will be my first time) but I am trying to work around my DD travel softball schedule and my DH recovery from surgery.

I am looking to possibly attending either wave 2 or wave 3. How exactly does that work. Will wave 3 be over on the 19th and you fly home or will you have to fly home on the 20th. Also another question I have is if I attend Wave 2, will I need to arrive on the 13th or can I arrive on the morning of the 14th?

TIA

Kim

It goes by Executive Director for which wave you are in. The first day starts bright and early in the morning so if you can get in the day before, it's better. The last day is over by noon so you can leave that day.

Actually, on the first day the first actual event to be at isn't until 1:15 or so. But the booths from the vendors and the registration area where you get your packet opens early in the morning. I hear they're having some type of orientation for first time attendees, but i don't know what time that's at. On the last day, the final closing general session gets out around 1:30 pm, just FYI. I'd say most people head out that day, but obviously leave yourself enough time to get to the airport.

Also, find out if anyone else in your cluster is going, then you can group up with them to share hotel rooms....makes it much more affordable and fun. (Maybe you already knew that....I wasn't sure). It's a BLAST and is a GREAT investment in your business, so I highly recommend it!

If you have extenuating circumstances you can get your wave changed. I read somewhere if you have a reunion or something you should be able to get it moved. You just won't be there with any of your cluster.

You know what, now that I remember, you are correct. But I did do the HO tour last year so it was bright and early in the morning.

No actually I don't. How do I find out? My director is very hard to get a hold of. She hardly ever returns phone calls or answers the phone.

This month will be a year that I have been doing PC and I am still trying to learn everything by figuring stuff out on my own. I have to say finding this website was a blessing. I have learned alot and have got a lot good ideas by reading all of the posts, etc. Thank you guys so much!!!!

No, I don't know what wave I am scheduled. How do you find out? My director is very difficult to get a hold of. She hardly ever returns phone calls or answers the phone. We haven't had a meeting since I think October of last year.

I have been doing PC for a year this month. Most of what I have basically learned or figured out on my own. I am very glad I came across this website. You guys have given lots of good ideas from reading the posts and asking questions. Thanks!!

Kim, check the names on your commission check (first, second and third line directors) to see if any of them are on the list of Executive Directors and their waves. That list is on Consultant's Corner.It's a shame that you don't get the support you deserve from your Director.

I found it! I am to attend wave 2. Thanks chefann.
