Warning: Conference Spoilers Inside!!!

In summary, for those who are unable to attend the NC conference this year, a volunteer is needed to share information about new and upgraded products. However, no information can be shared until Wave 3 has heard it first, as per a pact made by Doris. It is suggested that email addresses be shared off board and that no information be posted until Wave 3 is over. There will also be an announcement from Deb or Greg about when it is okay to share the news. Some attendees have shared updates, but it is important to respect those who are patiently waiting for Wave 3. Some attendees are also experiencing issues with their email contacts list and are considering setting up a separate email account.

I am a Canadian consultant and our conference is in August. How does your conference work, it seems there are different waves and different dates. Does that mean that some consultants(directors or above) are aware of the new products and news earlier.
when you girls mention that "spoilers" are inside, does that mean some of you have been emailed by others a scoop?
Very curious

And with that, when you do find out the news, please no posts about how great things are or "you're going to love it" type things. (We're not in 5th grade and don't need the 'I know something you don't know' posts.)

Amen I couldn't agree more.

It sucks that the US and Canadian conferences aren't closer and that they don't wait until they are BOTH over before anything can be said! :(

I guess there are different announcements, but all our new products are the same! Ah well, good test of my will power!! :)

I guess they think that we don't talk with each other. Or that we aren't on the same message boards. I'm sorry that some things will be spoiled for you guys. That stinks.

Yup, except for Leadership last time we always know what's coming up before our conferences.

We are so many of us in the states that conference has to be split up into three WAVES of three days each. News about new products is not distributed until all waves (groups) have had their conference. Spoilers Inside was just so people who don't want to know ahead of time don't look, I'm assuming the spoilers will be posted here from those going to conference before the information is released by HO. They are not on here yet. I will not be looking on here (just in case) as I am attending wave 2 and want to be surprised.

Just to clarify, no posts will be allowed on Chef Success about conference "surprises" until the end of the last day of Wave 3. So, even though this thread is titled "Conference Spoilers Inside", if anyone tries to post them here, they will be deleted and/or harrassed big-time! :eek:

For all of us who cannot attend NC this year, we need a volunteer to tell us what products are new, upgraded, etc.?! Please?! :p

Just remember, when Doris stands up in front of you all, and makes you promise not to tell anyone what you've seen until after wave 3 finishes, she's looking directly at you! :angel:
 
  • #63
I pm'd you too .

Thank you

I really think it stinks that you guys don't get to be surprised....but I have no idea how the secrets could be kept until the Canadian conference!
Do you think they'll ever do a combo conference like we had for Leadership this year? It was great to have our "up north" neighbors with us!

It really doesn't bother me personally. I was kidding cause some people do make sure a big stink about it:) A combo conference would be fun!! I would imagine that it would just be too big though.

I pledge here before everyone at Chef Success not to tell a soul in the entire country of Canada about any new Pampered Chef products until after your convention. :)

Yes, it's considered a surprise. If you must know, get the info privately from someone from Wave 1. But those things aren't to be posted, either - just like the new products and announcements.

Hi: I am going to email you too...yipppeeee! Denise :)
 
  • #71
I'm e-mailing too - Thanks in advance!
 
  • #72
I have the feeling that we'll have a few different promotions than the US will - most of the actual products will be the same though. But the Canadian market is where they've tested a few products first over the past few years before they bring the to US market so maybe us Canadians will have a few surprises for YOU! lolI believe that they did have a US/Can national conference once about 10 years ago... Asking at Head office, they said that won't likely happen but the leadership conferences - who knows?Esther

Any news yet ???????????????
 
  • #80
Yeah, I'm curious as well! They have to know SOMETHING by now! lol
 
  • #81
i bet no one is going to text message any of us, they'll wait until 9pm ish to get back to their room, and upload their pics from their camera and then type us a long email message.

That's how I remember it to be last year, my night life online was on fire, and during the day my email was dead. :)

Starting with last year, they make new product announcements on Day 1. That gives more time available for people to go through the new product room.

Previous years, the Day 1 general session was the interminable awards night. :rolleyes:

I think I got everyone that has asked up to now. I am off to go to bed now!

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad that they changed that around - that award night got horribly boring especially if you didn't know anyone getting an award!! Inspiring to a point but boring!
