[NFBV-Announce] Important Convention Announcements, Part 1

[Joe Orozco]

Hello,

 

Everyone will receive a flavor of this message in one of four ways: via this
list, through a welcome email from our president, from the podium during the
weekend, and from you sharing this information with friends who are not
great about paying attention. So, really, don't blame us if you didn't get
the memo, because we're doing our part to get the word out.

 

First, COVID. Here's that gentle reminder that if you're feeling ill, take
proper precautions. Yes, we will have testing kits available on site as part
of your registration packet, but no, we did not need COVID to inspire that
bit of common sense that if you're contagious, we would rather enjoy your
company from afar. That is why we are leaning on Zoom to get the event to
you.

 

Second, meals. This is always the stickiest part of convention planning.
Please, for the love of all that is good, do not lose track of your meal
tickets. We may be able to check your name against a list at each meal
function, but we need to get over 200 people served as efficiently as
possible. Please do your part to keep the machinery humming.

 

Third, while we're on the subject of food, please do not count on the
hospitality event on Friday night serving as dinner. There will be a taco
bar, but I don't want you to run the risk of pulling up to said bar and
feeling disappointed if 75 people ahead of you wiped the place clean. Plan
accordingly.

 

That's it for now. In the next installment we'll talk changes to the agenda,
hotel layout, and an important warning...

 

To be continued,

 

Joe Orozco, Convention Operations
