I spend some time this evening reviewing the initial survey we did last year. We had record high responses and feedback that was very straightforward. I wanted to compare the feedback with what we've created to make sure we stayed on point. Here is some of the feedback we received and our final result.
55% said they wanted to be able to choose their own classes. An additional 28% said they'd like to have some independent classes with time when everyone is together. You asked for the ability to separate basic from advanced design.
We have the ability for you to choose the classes you want to take. Once we receive you class selections, our Education Management System will automatically generate your individual schedule. We'll have that ready in your welcome pack you'll receive when you check in at the Marriott. Then the Morning Huddle and Lunch and Learn is when we'll all be together and have that group energy that we all love so much! Last, we have a basic design class, an embellishment class and a high end/low end advanced class.
84% said they wanted to have networking time to be able to mingle with other gift basket company owners but with a good balance of rest, social and professional learning time.
This has been a overwhelming task - creating a schedule that accommodates a good balance of all of the above. I believe we've done it! We have a great schedule (click on schedule above) that makes sure everyone gets time to do what they want to do. And the fact that the hotel rooms are so close to the area we'll be meeting in, is really perfect. You can return items to your room easily, take a quick rest - whatever you want to do.
...more to come.
