More signage was needed to explain that M rooms where on the Mezzanine level and that there were stairs right behind the Help and Info Desk. Answered a lot of questions about that at the Help and Info. A sign was later added which was great!]]> 2019-12-16 16:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/srichardson54/wcx65e0b8u3c/wish/424590153 dlarson5 https://padlet.com/srichardson54/wcx65e0b8u3c/wish/424591208 The schedule worked well for participants to be able to be part of strands and Nat Con. Just more clear communication is needed to participants. Consider creating a "strand specific" schedule to provide since the strands part was a bit tricky to track in the general Nat Con schedule. ]]> 2019-12-16 16:04:49 UTC https://padlet.com/srichardson54/wcx65e0b8u3c/wish/424591208 dlarson5 https://padlet.com/srichardson54/wcx65e0b8u3c/wish/424591891 Food lines were long at lunch.

Nina and Cynthia were awesome and responsive any time we reached out for anything!

Also, kudos to Sonya for updating the credit card machines prior to them being shipped to NC!  They were ready to go out of the box and no need to sit on hold for an hour with customer service! Made setup go so smoothly! ~ Krista

Nearly $10,000 in sales - $5000 in the first two hours!  Lots of requests for a National Conference specific tshirt - probably could have sold out of them!  
Requests:
a tie for men (administrators, supers, etc) REALLY want an AVID tie and are willing to pay $25-30 for it
Fleece - 3/4 or full zip sweatshirt/fleece pullover (we get this request alot during the summer too)
Women - prefer colors and want something beside a polo
Guys - want more color and performance fabrics
Stickers are a HIT
A high quality water bottle such as hyrdoflask, kleen kateen, etc - folks will pay $$ for a good quality water bottle (bpa free) ~ Krista]]> 2019-12-16 16:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/srichardson54/wcx65e0b8u3c/wish/424608224 https://padlet.com/srichardson54/wcx65e0b8u3c/wish/424649298 Is there a way for the app to let participants know when a session is full and how to find out if more are added?
