And so it begins. Most of the crew travels to Kansas City on Wednesday. The designers arrive on Thursday - except for a few that just can't stand not being there every second.

Here's the schedule for us... Booth set-up starts on Wednesday as soon as we arrive at the Convention Center. Parts of it go fast and other parts... a bit more slowly.

Thursday is Schoolhouse - it's a series of presentations dedicated to raising profitability and reach. It's an opportunity to gain tips, information and knowledge about new products, and long-time favorites with ideas for marketing, classes, events, and kits. (It's a lot more interesting and fun than that sounds.)
