In summary, the conference will be a lot of fun and Gina Miller will be walking across the stage as a new Director.

Hi everyone in Wave 1 - Just wondering who will all be there - I'm from the suburbs of Chicago but will spending the nights down in Chi-town - will be a nice vacation in the middle of summer! This will be my first conference as I've only been a consultant since last September - Pampered Becky has told me how fun they are and we'll be going down there together (we live in the same town). Looking forward to meeting a lot of people and having fun!:)

Wave 1I'm coming. I've been a consultant since 2003 but haven't gone before due to $ reasons. This will be my first time! I'm so excited! My cluster has about 5 people going, all in the same plane. I can't wait! Are you going to take the HO tour?
 
5th ConferenceI am going for the 5th time but this one will be the BEST so far for me!!! I finally decided that it was time to step it up and promote to Director and I did just that. I will be walking across stage this year as a NEW Director!

I am very excited and I walk away from each Conference with a HUGE boost of self esteem and a HUGE boost of energy to get my business going. I hope that those going for the first time (and even those who have attended before) walk away with the feeling that I have made the right choice by attending Conference and that my investment WILL pay off.


I hope to see some of you there!

I'll be in wave 1. And, (fingers, toes and everything else crossed) I hope to be walking across the stage too. Your prayers and good wishes for that are WELCOME.

This will be my 5th National Conference (I think that's right). I'd love to figure out a way to put faces with names.
 
This will be my 3rd Nat'l conference. It is LOADS of fun!! I will be a bit cut off from my cluster and friends this time around. My husband and I will be staying at a non-conference hotel and we'll have our 4th child with us. I didn't think I would be able to express enough milk to be away that long and/or during conference to keep up my supply.

So...he'll be stuck in the hotel with a 6 week old baby (if that old). I feel badly for him, but we're both committed to breast feeding. We did it a little bit longer for each child and noticed HUGE benefits. I had hoped he'd be able to do a Home Office tour or go to some of the stuff with me, but PC said no. Oh well...he'll have to come again maybe next year, just him and me.

All that was probably TMI, but that's my Conference 2006 story!

I just decided to go.... Had a GREAT (but exhausting) time at Leadership in January. What time does the conference end on Sunday (does anyone know?)? This will be my first National Conference ~ I joined September also. :)

Congrats!!! This will be a very special conference for you! Especially that Director's dinner. I can't wait!!

Good luck to those of you hoping to promote by then. You can do it!!! :D
 
Susan--check out the agenda at Consultant's Corner. Our first day is Monday for PC events.
 
I will be there !!!!I Live in Lombard, a Chicago Suburb, and my cluster is in Indy, they will all be coming and to save $$, will be staying at my house with me, about 10 of them. It will be like a slumber party every night. We will have a BLAST!!!! And a great way to get to know the girls in my cluster. I too hope to walk this year (my first year with PC) but we will see.

Chef Kearns,

Kudos to you! That is awesome! You have my total support! I nursed my son for 20 months, which was a huge achievement for us (lots of problems at the beginning). He has been the healthiest kid--it's amazing!

There is a nursing/pumping moms room right in McCormick Place outside the auditorium, so your husband can come and hang with you in the downtime instead of being holed up in the hotel. You will have a private place to nurse your babe (cuz you know a babe is more effective than any pump). Plus, at 6 weeks, you'll have a growth spurt going on and your baby will want YOU!

HUGE PROPS for all the nursing and pumping moms at conference!

I was pumping last year at conference and you get a special key for the nursing/pumping room. There were some cabinets in there and I even left my pump in the cabinet, which was nice to not lug that around. They even have a little fridge in there to store milk.
 
  • #12
Thank you so much for the information Deb and Becky! I was wondering about that. Buying a special bag with wheels so I wouldn't have to carry the heavy pump everywhere and having ice packs to keep the milk cold. Thank you thank you!!

Same here! This will be my second time going. I didn't get to go last year. I can't wait.... Our Director makes it sooo fun and I learned so much. It was such a great thing the first time. See ya all there.

You've GOT to go on the HO tour if it's your first conference! It is so awesome to see everything in person. Plus, they give away 60 second shopping sprees in the warehouse. A fellow consultant in my cluster won one last year:D It was so exciting!

First timeThis is my first time also. I can't wait! I am sooooo excited! :D
 
  • #17
Wave 1This is my first time going to conference as well and I have heard soooo many great things about it. I can't wait. My director has strongly recommended me to take the HO tour. I think it costs a little extra, but not much. I think it will be well worth it.

Sooooo Excited!!!!:D

I'll be there!I'm so excited for my second conference:D Last year I left with so many ideas my brain was on overload. What an awesome experience...CAN'T WAIT! And since we're in wave 1 we'll get to hear all the excitement first:p :p
 
  • #19
I too am very excited and can not wait to see what all the excitement is all about. It's my first conference and being since I just finished my first month as a consultant I really am looking forward to getting more knowledge and networking. Just like on this site where we all share ideas and knowledge. Thanks and looking forward to seeing you all there.

I am going!!!! I can't wait!

I will be a future director at conference!

who knows maybe I can get to Director by then, anything is possible!

Wave 1:D First time for me as well... So looking forward to all the workshops and new products. Rather disappointed to see the HO Tours are full already...I hope they add another one. If anyone hears any updates, please let me know.

I am coming from western PA and have not been to Chicago before. Have heard many nice things about it though. Will be loads of excitement I'm sure!

I am planning on going this year too! This will be my first Conference as well and am really looking forward to it! I have a room, but no roomates yet, and have not registered yet for conference. So at least it's a start! With this being my first year I guess I didn't realize the rush to register for everything (LIKE HO TOURS!) I'll learn and next year will be on top of things!
 
  • #23
there is usually a chance to catch the HO tours anyway--every tour has a waiting list line for fill ins after people back out. So plan on getting in line about 45 min before the tour you wanted to go on, you might get in. My consultant got in last year. Have fun!

Yes, but be prepared that they scaled down the HO tours this year because of some major road construction going on around McCormick place. So chances of getting on as a "standby" may not be as good this year.:(
