How Can I Make the Most of the National Conference 2009, Wave 1?

In summary, Ann inspired me this morning, so I'm starting early. I am looking forward to the National Conference in Chicago this year. I will be there with my team. We are planning on wearing matching feather boas.

Thanks Andrea, since all my computer issues I can't get on here as much as I like.I like to carry on, but that all depends on you. Some airlines charge (who am I kidding most airlines) to check.
For the 3 days of conference business casual (no denim). We have 1 night w/ dinner w/ our exec dirs, some do themes, some people dress up, talk w/ your upline on that one.
Make sure you have walking shoes, lots of walking at the conference center.I bring capris and cute tops, which is usually what I wear most of the time. This year I'm adding a cute dress to walk across stage as a new director. HTH

Wow... I can't believe it's less than 100 days! I have not worked my business much lately... had a lot going on in my personal life... I need to really concentrate on the april may and june so that I can justify conference! Plus I need to book april up strong so that I can earn free conference registration then the $500 coming out of checks for conference club can be all mine for hotel and spending cash!
thanks for counting down Andrea and Amanda... you can tell I haven't been as much into my business as last year... last year I made it my personal goal to try to beat you all on here everymorning! LOL! I would just stay up late and do it after midnight! lol!:)

For those of you w/ united miles, I just received an email the other day. You can use 50 miles for one way or 100 miles round trip for a super shuttle from the airport to the hotel.

I thought that was a really good deal.

Everyone have a beautiful Tuesday!

Holy Cow 82 days left.....82 days til Conference!!!!!

Today is April 19!!!


Make sure you have a room booked or a spot in a room for you to lay your head down in. Once you have a room, ask questions about your roommates. If there are roomies who snore, you will want some earplugs. You also want to make sure you mesh.

WOO HOO

I just registered. And we have our room. My roomies may be the ones needing earplugs LOL.:blushing: I sometimes snore. I'm pretty sure we'll be ok. I'm rooming with my recruiter, our director and another clustermate. My recruiter and I have roomed in more social settings before and aren't strangers to being bed buddies!! :):p
