I so badly want to go...I'm registered..but like everyone else said $$ talks! :grumpy: I have a friend that works for A/C so I keep hinting that she should take me to Toronto that weekend. Conference is such a great moral boost for your business. And I so want the FREE stuff! Never know...a lottery win may come about before then! :)

Gee, don't tell me that!! I bought my ticket already, 'cause I didn't want to be left without a seat!! I know I probably could have gotten a better deal! Oh well, guess I'll stay off those sites or they might make me sick! :p :yuck:

Can't wait to meet you all at NC!!!!! :D Don't forget your CS buttons! Got mine the other day! :)
 
I'll be there for my 6th Conference! I can't wait - I earned it for free so it's all the more sweet! The surprise packs are the best. A little trick, though, is to wait until a few people have bought them so you can see what's in them. They aren't all the same. They came in $25 or $50 boxes, but there were different colours stickers - small dots - on the boxes, so my $25 box would be different from yours. Go through what other people have opened (yes, they rip into them right there in the lobby!) and decide which box you'd like and try to get one with that sticker.
See ya there!
 
I havn't heard anything about surprise boxes this year so who knows. There will be 2 winners of a shopping spree at the markham office. Those 2 winners will get to pick 5 other people to join them for a spree. It was on the hotline a few weeks ago!!!!
 
I will be flying into Markham on the 7th from New Brunswick. I'm a Consultant since November 2007. This will be my first NC and I can't wait to get there. Hope to meet you Maritimers out there and all other great PC reps.

Take Care!
