Okay, so you guys' last Wave is mid-July and the Canadian National Conference is August 8 to 10. So, does that mean that I have to resist for 3 weeks and stay away from this thread???????? :eek: :eek:

I did cheat last year....don't know about this year! We'll see........
 
Actually, once the OK is given to post things from the US conferences, the info will be all over these boards and the only way to avoid it will be to stay away from here completely.

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.)Please respect those who are patiently waiting session three and e-mail amongst yourselves.

Lastly, even when session three is in session, please continue to e-mail each other and not post things as there will be consultants attending session three who will also be checking CS and might hear someone say something that hasn't been announced for them yet.

Thanks so much!

Well said Colleen!
It's always tempting to find stuff out early, but nothing beats the feeling of that excitement in the air when 3000 + people are finding out new things at the same time:thumbup: And we have to promise Doris...I love that!
 
We sent you an email Kasey! Thanks!

I agree! And if I was attending conference, NO WAY would I want to spoil it for myself! But...for those of us who are NOT ABLE to go, I am glad that Kacey (and others!) will be able to share in their excitement with us!

Ah man, you guys are getting way too excited about going to conference again! I have to make it through my Oklahoma trip first then I can start thinking about conference!
 
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 sent an email too. Thanks Kasey! I hope you have a great time at conference.
 
just send you an email. Thanks
 
I would be the first one to spoil everything!! However, I gotta live with Deb as my director and she would knock my block off! And no, no one else had better even hint at anything out here. Otherwise, I know Greg can do it, you will all be cut off from here the first day of Wave 1 until the end of Wave 3! And I can't live on a Chef Success FAST! Even if I don't post, I need that HIT!

Hi Kasey,
I just emailed you. Thanks for doing this.

Dianne
 
Hi-
I pm'd you too .

thanks!
 
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

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.

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:
 
I emailed you my address - thanks for doing this.
 
So if we post our e mail address we will get the spoilers I don't think I can wait till the end!! I am sooo excited to see what's new, its like Christmas in July!
 
I am attending in Wave 2 but want to know what the bag is and the banquet gift is before hand - is that considered a conference surprise since they have told us we will receive something??
 
Kasey,
I just sent you an email. Have a great time! Thanks so much!
