Convention is less than 3 months away. And things are happening.

OF COURSE you won’t be asking “What’s happening, Rhonda and Lisa?” because we know that you’ve been staying up to date on all Convention excitement, news and surprises.

For example, we know that you know that CONVENTION REGISTRATION IS OPEN (check out the registration link right here!), and that the deadline for the early bird is September 30. And while you’re on the website, why not take a look at the exceptional content and speakers for the Pre-Convention workshop options?

Speaking of the PRE-CONVENTION WORKSHOP…

We know that you know that the PRE-CONVENTION WORKSHOPS are on Saturday, December 9, and will be featuring CAPS superstars whose businesses have reached the million dollar mark – AND they’ll be sharing the secrets of their strategy (and success) with you, in an educational, interactive and fun way.  Your choice – morning, afternoon or a combo package including lunch.

Speaking of FUN…

 We know that you know that the FAMILY REUNION FUN-RAISER NIGHT to benefit the CAPS Foundation will be a night to remember! Dinner, silent auction, live auction, wine, entertainment, dancing, and who knows what else…? (we’re keeping our fingers crossed for Beaver Tails – no promises just yet — but we can always hope, right?)

Speaking of HOPE…

We hope that as soon as you finish reading this sentence, that you’ll click on the Register for Convention link (see what we did there?) and get the party started!

But before we sign off, we wanted to make sure you knew THIS cool stuff too:

SPECIAL TOUR OF THE PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS!  On Friday night, Dec. 8, we are organizing a “By-Invitation Only” event (for all CAPS volunteers, Pre-Convention Attendees, HEIG, and Past National Presidents!) to tour the Parliament Buildings. Book your travel to arrive before the evening of December 8, and join us! More information to follow.

BOOK YOUR HOTEL ROOMS BEFORE THEY DISAPPEAR! Did you book your hotel room at the beautiful Delta Hotels Ottawa City Centre yet?  We’re going to keep asking you until you do it, so you might as well just get it over with.

OUR CONCURRENT SPEAKERS ARE SO AWESOME!  We guarantee that you’ll be riveted by these sessions:

YOUR REPUMETER: HOW TO BECOME THE KNOWN EXPERT IN YOUR FIELD (CSP/HOF ONLY SESSION). Speaker: Incoming National CAPS President Steve Lowell, CSP (CAPS Ottawa)

SCRIPT YOUR STORIES HOLLYWOOD STYLE – SCRIPTWRITING BASICS FOR STORYTELLING. Speaker: Award-winning film producer Carlos Zepeta (CAPS Montreal)

FEE MASTER: HOW TO SET AND NEGOTIATE YOUR FEES TO WIN MORE BUSINESS EVERY TIME!  Speaker: Brian Lee, CSP (CAPS Calgary )

After all this, are you asking yourself how much MORE fabulous this Convention can get? Are you?? Well… we’ll be back soon with the answer (but just to give you a hint….YES, this Convention is about to get even MORE fabulous).

In the meantime, all you need to do is register before September 30! (the price increases by $125 on October 1, so do it today!). Well, you ALSO need to book your travel. And plan what you’re going to wear at the gala. And eat healthy and take care of yourself, so that you’ll be full of energy in December!

p.s.  Get ready for some special news about an amazing new initiative that CAPS – and CAPS members like you — will be creating to help people in need. Because #CAPSCares! (we’re so excited about it!)
