Not pictures of products. Some FB friends are posting pictures of Chicago in general.

I'm not going. My old director really pressured me my first year to go, since people bailed on her & her hotel room at the last minute. I kept telling her I was only doing this as a hobby and spending all that $$$ wasn't in my plans. Plus back then, I couldn't get time off from work on such short notice, anyway. It made me angry that she kept emailing & calling to change my mind, I would love it, blah blah blah... it had nothing to do with me. It was her freaking out at the room cost.
OK, now I have that rant out of my system!

I'd love to go this year, but I'm unemployed at the moment. So, no way. I've got the time but not the income.

Looking forward to reading about the updates!

I couldn't go this year either. Since I have been spending most of what I have earned I haven't saved for it. I am really bummed now tohough...it would have been fun. I will definitely be saving for next year. in the mean time I have been lstening to the MP3s of past conference sessions and have learned a ton and am signed up for Director Express in Cleavland...so I am not totally missing out!

I am at home also . I was able to go my first two years ('07 and '08) but haven't had the money since (as well as I was pregnant in '09 and in the process of moving last year). I am really trying to step up my business, so maybe I will be back in Chicago next year.

On the upside, I am meeting with a potential recruit tonight. Keep your fingers crossed for me .

Sitting at home feeling very left out!! First time I have missed since 2000!!! Just couldn't swing the $$$ this year.

I am home too. Health reasons keep me away. I hope to go next year. I really miss the excitement.

I need it rescheduled. I am up to my ears in strawberries.

I've never been able to go since I started PC 7 years ago. Never really minded. But now since I've found Chef Success and the Community on the PC website, I totally wish I could go. I'm a state employee in WA and we just took a 3% pay cut so I don't know if I can save for next year or not.

Really looking forward to seeing the new products in person.

Start Conference Club as soon as it opens. You can set it to save more than just the amount of registration.

I am here at home, too. The barn where we board our horses has our one major show and it seems to coincide with NC each year lately. This year, I've ended up as assistant show manager adn course designer, so have been working 15 hour days there all week. Of course, DD and I also get to ride, which is a lot of fun. I've been multiple times, and it is a great thing to get to experience, though.
