Suggestions are from Hope Hill, Las Colinas Communicators. More conference information here.
Suggestion:
|
Why:
|
Member discount on fee & allow committee to properly
plan for meals, seats, hand-outs; without waste of over-stocking. |
|
Member enjoy conference more being on-site among other
TMs. Relax in room when tired; no traveling after long day when tired; easier to stay late and enjoy fellowship; sleep-in and still make early morning sessions. More comfortable to change clothes for different events. Special rates on elegant rooms; room-share with a co-member or other members to make friendships. |
|
Food Preferences
|
Be sure to select vegetarian meals if desired when you register for
conference. Promptly advise the wait staff at each meal, you ordered vegetarian meal. Don’t take a vegetarian meal if you didn’t order one with
registration; otherwise one of the vegetarians won’t get their pre-ordered meal. |
Food Allergies
|
Bring your own food if you have serious allergies. Eat in
room or have cooler in car if not staying at hotel. Save money on Gallery seating. |
Do It ALL!
|
Cheaper to register for Full Registration than to order
events & meals a la carte. Donate your unusable tickets to others who didn’t plan to stay so the seats will be filled and they can enjoy more of the conference. |
Hospitality Room
|
Take advantage of the large and easily accessible facility
furnished to all attendees to mix and mingle; fellowship with friends and like-minded Toastmasters, meet new people, make new friends, network, share ideas. Drinks and snacks FREE to all attendees. |
Arrive Early
|
For all events to ensure you are not late and have good
seating. Relax and beat the last minute rush of late arrivers. |
Get more involved and be a part of a motivated Team and
help make the conference a successful event for everyone. You get out of something, what you put into it. Be a part of things. If most members volunteered just one hour or for just one small part of the conference it would make light work for all volunteers and conference committees. |
|
Dress Protocol
|
Business Casual on Friday evening; comfortable wear during
the Saturday Education sessions; Party attire, After 5 to formal wear for Saturday night DTM ceremony. |
Every club in the District should have at least one member
attend the conference and carry their club banner in the Banner Parade. |
|
Club-Sponsored fee
|
If club funds are available, vote for club to pay the
registration fee for one or more of their active members and/or Officers to attend conference as a reward and also bring back new ideas and procedures to the club. |
Camera
|
Bring a camera to capture photos of some of the fond
memories to share with your club and post on the D25 website. |
