Don't forget, it is still early (registration is early this year) and that it is a new service.

You'd think they'd be used to us POUNCING by now when something opens... ;)
 
Janet you are so positive!!:D I am ready to throw my laptop out the window because their website says I don't have a valid consultant #. Then the phone is next to go.....Breathe, breathe, breathe on a brighter note I might have a new recruit. Yay!!!:D
 
There were some of the same issues when housing registration opened for Leadership.
 
keep trying it took me a while but I just kept trying until the system recognized my ID and let me do my thang. I now have registered and have hotel reservations done!!! Whoopppie
 
Now they recognize who I am but there is no continue button that I can see to register. I am ready to cry!
 
don't panic....I completed the form and was at the confirmation page when it said ERROR and I just went back and checked the info and kept submitting until it took it. I had a pop up saying I had a confirmation in my inbox Good luck. Remember "just keep swimminig, swimming, swimming" I love Finding Nemo
 
Just keep trying - I was having the same issues with invalid number and just got through a couple of minutes ago - was able to get my hotel room.
 
I faxed ours in... I had to be on a call so I couldn't sit and wait until I could finally get through. Sure hope the faxes get paid attention to.
 
Okay just got off the phone I have a reservation, he said the website wasn't theirs and everyone was complaining. I will stop whining and crying. Now time to get ready for my show!!!
 
I got thru over the phone. This year the Sheraton costs more than the othe rhotels (it's usually the other way around) - we booked the Palmer House.
