Dear Karen and Kathy;
Thank you both for putting this together and for the Evite. I wouldn't miss this for the world! What a wonderful way to finally get to meet you both and to meet additional Stagers from around our state and by the looks of it...other states. What fun! Plus...IKEA...any excuse to go to IKEA is a good excuse. Going to leave some room at lunch time for those yummy swiss chocolates they sell! See you on the 17th!
Cheers!
It's going to be a wonderful opportunity to meet your peers; join in on some great conversation and to take part in creating solutions.

This is great!! I wish our company could attend ~ we will be in Savannah at the home show setting up on Thursday and working the show all weekend. Our Savannah division was invited and given a huge booth and we will actually be setting up a total before and after room. We will post pics and feedback after the show.
Please post about the roundtable discussions after it is over!! I am sure it is going to be a huge success and very informative! I am so sorry we will miss it and miss meeting everyone.
All - The 10:00 round table is now completely booked. Slots are still available for the 2:00 session.
