I had a great time at convention! It was held at the Disneyland Hotel. I arrived Tuesday afternoon and checked into the Baymont Inn and Suites about 4 miles from Disneyland. It was kind of a pain being so far away, but it was much cheaper than staying at Disneyland.
On Wednesday was the Bootcamp...all about building your business. At the beginning of the bootcamp all of the new changes were announced. Some of the big announcements were the MRM Training Portal and the Gold and Silver Customer Packages.
The MRM Training Portal is the online version of the Mastering Relationship Marketing 2 day live seminar that was presented earlier this year but is now available online. The cost is $99 with a $49 annual renewal. There will be more modules added to it as time goes on.
The Silver Package includes a 1 year subscription to the MRM Portal, the Handwriting Font and Signatures Package (a $49 value), the Custom Brand Manager (a $149 value...also with a $49 annual renewal), and 200 points (a $62 value)...all for $345. But the best thing is that you can buy points at the wholesale price of 31 cents each...if you have a subscription of at least 100 points.
The Gold Package is similar except it also includes the Memory Vault (a $99 value), which is for additional storage for cards, photos and contacts; as well as an additional 300 points (a $93 value) for a total of 500 points...all for $450.
There were similar additions to the Marketing Distributor package but the biggest change is the immediate payout of the bonuses.
Thursday was a free day that I spent at the Disneyland Park.
Friday morning was mostly announcements and two of the biggest for me was the Rookie of the Year, Cathi Rickly out of Las Vegas and the Distributor of the Year, Casey Eberhart, out of LA. Casey will be speaking at the
Laptop Lounge in Walnut Creek on September 29th. Friday afternoon was free time again spent in the park.
Saturday was more on the new packages as well as some testimonials and business building. There was a closing party that I didn't attend because I drove home right after the main convention session.

It is 6 am and the alarm is beeping. You grudgingly tap the button to let it know that you are fully aware of its presence. The thought crosses your mind that maybe you can squeeze in a few more minutes of sleep, but then you remember that you have an entire household to get ready and sent off on their way.
