Suggestions are from Hope Hill, Las Colinas Communicators. More conference information here.
Suggestion:
|
Why:
|
Early Registration
|
Allow committee to properly plan for meals, seats, and hand-outs; without waste of over-stocking.
|
Members 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. 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.
