Two. I'll be attending my third in July. It's in Dallas, which is only about a 3 hour drive, so no excuse not to go.

Two, and I was initiated at the first.  I am trying to find a way to go to at least one day of this year's convention. It sounds crazy to some, that I'd go for just a day, but I'll have a 3 month old by the time of convention and cannot afford to bring someone with me to watch him, so I may try to just go to the final day and leave the little bub at home. Not ideal, but I really, really want to go even if it's only a day!!

I really want to go to this Convention, too, but it's waaaaaaaay too expensive in my opinion. It irritates me how much Convention has gone up in price since my first one four years ago.

Cincinnati in 2008 was an especially good year...they did a $200ish "rebate" for alumnae delegates, but that appears to have been a one-time deal.

Right, but this year's is double the registration cost from that Convention, and $200 more than the last in Orlando. And the part-time registration is pay per day, which I think is a little different from how they did it in the past. I don't really want to fly to Denver for just two days, and I find the business sessions to be really interesting. So yeah, I just find it disappointing...the costs are out of line, IMO...I mean, I just went on an 11-night Caribbean cruise for $900, and that included all meals and lodging.
