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:
 
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. :)
 
I have emailed you as well.

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??

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 :)
 
I'm e-mailing too - Thanks in advance!
 
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
 
I sent an email. Thanks Kasey!
 
I just emailed you Kasey. Thanks so much.

I was just wondering the same thing!!
 
Yeah, I'm curious as well! They have to know SOMETHING by now! lol
 
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. :)
