      I think I have a fairly good idea by keeping track of what Maven is doing but no, not 100%. I am 100% excited about going though and appreciate what they're doing to present us with, what I believe is, an opportunity. I look forward to meeting you.

   Also flying out Tuesday and staying over an extra night hopefully since it takes a full day for me to get there what with the trip from Vancouver.  Anyone else going from the Midwest? Has anyone gotten a schedule yet besides just the part about Friday morning?

   I wish I had planned an extra day or two to check out Vancouver after the conference. But the flight itinerary was already approved. I wasn’t thinking when they asked me for my flight preferences. However, I do look forward to meeting all of you. It would be nice if they provided a list of those attending. I’m sure there will be more than those of us in this thread.

         Did you answer the email giving your flight preference? That's how it starts. Then if it's good, they book it for you.

       You do have to reside in North America. Robin mentioned that in another thread. I really can't say beyond that what criteria there was because I don't know. I just know they started with some and have mentioned the possibility of more in the future.

    I still don't have any kind of info.  I'm getting a bit concerned as I've sent a number of messages over the past 3 days but haven't received a reply.  Did you give them actual flights and they approved them or vice versa?  I thought they gave us the flights and we approved them.  I don't know what else to do.  Does anyone have a phone number for any of the folks involved in the arrangements?  Thanks!

    I posted this in another thread.  I was invited but cannot attend. I am very interested in what they are offering though.  For those of you who attend, please come back and let us know in the forums what the program they will be laying out looks like. IDK if those of us invited but unable to attend will be included in whatever program they will be laying forth or not, but I would be interested in knowing some details just in case. 
    
    Safe travels to all of you.

          I imagine they want to meet top Hubbers and discuss things going forward. It does seem like a way to show to people they mean business. I remember somebody mentioned that one of the first emails said something about Hubbers being experts in their subjects.
