:D Just got back from Wave 2-I think I liked the schedule/set up for this year's conference better than last year. SOO excited about the new products and theme shows! I'm ready to start now. Can't wait for our changeover kit at least....
 
Loved every moment of it!!!!

Now I'm just looking to see the date they will start shipping the products we've earned!!! Anyone know?
 
end of the month sometime.... Sorry, I know that's not much help.Just an FYI- Deb posted (in a thread titled, "I'm Back!") that we can share Conference announcements starting at 9am Central time on Wednesday, since that's when Wave 3 will be wrapping up.
 
Thanks Ann! Okay... this month? I am going to NY for vacation with my family (basically 5 straight days of drinking... I'll need to to get through it) and wish they would come before I go so they aren't sitting on my porch all week... I'm leaving the 29th. Think that'll be the time frame?
 
Ironic, huh? The 29th specifically stands out in my mind as a ship date. I'm not too far from you (Southfield). Would you like me to pick yours up off your porch while you're gone?
 
Thanks so much for the offer!!!! Our house is for sale and our realtor is planning to come by daily so she can bring them in for me. Not sure where she'll put them since it's the director's box!!!!

Now I'm going to have to wait until I get home to play with my new toys!!!!! UGH! :)
 
I used to live over that way, too, a little farther east, though. My shows were mostly in Troy and Auburn Hills and Sterling Heights.
 
I volunteer to play with your products and report back. :D
 
I had a BLAST!!! I just tried finding where it says when we get our products and NOTHING says it!! Hmm.....
 
I think it was in a newsletter or Weekly Bytes.
 
I loved every minute of conference. Even though it seemed like we just went from one thing to another it was great. I liked the way it was set up this year. The only thing I would like to change is that they have all the recognition completed on day 2. We had to leave early on day 3 to catch our flight and we missed the announcement on the consultant incentive...found it in our special consultant news...and we missed the announcement on what we get for attending conference and turning in 2 shows in July. Can someone pm me with that info? I didn't find it in the consultant news. I know what the 2 sharp products we earn are, but not the extra for attending conference. Thanks in advance.
 
I PMed you, Shawnna.
 
I'm already trying to figure out good ways to save for next year. I talked to someone at the airport that got a discount rate at The McCormick Place Hotel using Priceline.com. I might try that next year since I get the room to myself.

I was in wave 1 but I have to say it was an amazing 1st time experience! I hope to go every year, if $$$ permits!?!

The very first year I went, the Hyatt was a conference hotel, and my cluster Pricelined (yes, I'm making that a verb now) rooms there for $50 a night. We also got a great deal on train tickets - ended up paying less than $140 each for hotel and transportation.
 
It was my first and it was a blast!

Kristi, I screamed for you when you walked! You looked stunning!!!

I don't mind. I'll let you know how much they'll be with shipping once I get slippers.Don't worry about the ribbons. They really weren't that much to make.
