Your MAWC 2014 Survival Tips
Check out these super-helpful tips submitted by YOU on Facebook!
“Stay at the host hotel, it makes life so much easier, and you can walk to the convention site easily!” – Marisa Gibbardo-Dana
“If you don’t choose to stay at the host hotel, split a condo with your best friends and business partners! Great friend and business-time well spent!” – Bev Ann Sweitzer
“Don’t drive when you’re in Miami. Take a cab with others and split the cost. You then can talk to the driver about the business! Laugh all you want, but my wife and I got a business partner in Greensboro doing just that!” – Daniel Rygazewicz
“Don’t drive if you can help it! Public transportation (commuter trains/buses) is totally easy and inexpensive. Make sure all of your team member’s phone numbers are programmed into your phone because when you’re in the Arena, texting will be your only option. Too loud for phone calls! When you’re on the concourse, take time to see each booth. Talk to the specialists, sample everything! Even if it’s not your major, stay current and up to date on as much as you can. These events only happen twice a year, and this business is moving at lightening speed!” – Kelly Evans
