I'm going to check with my Director to see if she wants to fly out together, then I will probably book it!
 
Same here. Keep me posted & I'll do the same! :)
 
Just and FYI, they are changing the line up of conference this year. And the directors will now have their special event the morning before conference (its specialized training).

They are spacing out the recognition among all the general sessions so we arent all sitting in the audience doing nothing but clapping for 3 hours! announcing new products the first nights general session from 3-6pm (dont want to miss that one!!)

and changing the upper level luncheon to the last day.

that's all that's been announced so far.
 
Thanks Ange!
Perhaps I should wait until I get a schedule?
 
Thanks Ange; I do remember reading about the different directors' event.

They will be sending out all the conference info before too long....
 
Hmm... I think I'll wait until we have the schedule. Especially since I hope to be a Director by then! ;)

Kim- So - we could fly in Monday morning & fly out Wednesday evening, I guess? Maybe we can meet up!
Any ideas on what hotel to stay in?

The HO suggests 2 or 3 specific hotels for conference. They'll be listed in the conference info. You can stay wherever you like, but the "conference" hotels have shuttle service to the conference center. To me, that's just easier, and you get to spend time with other consultants, directors, etc., going back and forth.

I learned a lot when I went in 2005, both from the conference itself and from conversations with fellow business owners. (I was one of the wierdos in the parrot hats. Anyone remember us?) Didn't make it in 2006, but I'll be there in 2007!
 
I had a wonderful time last year and I can't wait to go back this year... I am in wave one is anyone else in wave one???
