SHUCK!!! I was at those also!!! Did we meet? LOL. Things are always so rushed I always don't remember who I meet for the first time.

I've attended five so far, including our Centennial Convention. I've lost count of the number of Leadership Institutes I've attended so far, but I'm thinking about seven of those.

I have attended 2 so far: St. Louis in 2010 (where I got engaged!) and Charlotte last year. I plan on attending this summer in Salt Lake City!

I've only gone to one convention back in 2003. I've also gone to a National Leadership Conference (our off-year event).

I've attended two Alpha Phi Omega conventions; one as a voting delegate.

I've been to 7. This summer will be my 8th.
I missed convention is 1999, but other than that have been to every one since 1995.
***Amending this to add that I've also been to many of our Leadership Conferences - probably more than 7.

This summer will be #5 for me...which is a big deal in Gamma Phi Beta world, because starting with your 5th Convention, you get a special T-shirt and you get to join in the Confirmed Conventioneer's parade. It's a bit silly, but it's fun!

I started attending conventions in 1993. Can't wait for Boston in 2013.
I thought it was 11 but it must be 10. I guess I could throw in 4 NLC's (our in between year get-together)

The original question...
I was trying to poll just the number of National Conventions, not Leadership Schools, Regional Conferences or Centennial Celebrations.

I have been to one Convention (New Orleans 2010), and this summer in Pittsburgh will be my second. However it was an International Convention, not a National one - does that still count?

I wish there was a emoticon for "wry smile."

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.
