The first day of conference started with registration. We went in got our name badges that has to be worn around our necks in full site at all times. We got our wristbands which is mandatory to have around our wrist for the after party the night of the 1st day. They give us a laptop bag with the saying welcome to the assistant managers conference of 2008. Inside the bags had a few goodies like pens, lip gloss, gum etc. My 1st assistant and i stayed in the same circle of assistants and look for other people we may know. Once we find other assistant we know we then proceded to the olympic village exhibits the team for this conference was the olympics. After that was the opening ceremony in a big dome with lots of colorful lights it was very exciting. My 1st assistant and i was place on the Vancouver team and i was at table 10 and she was at table 29. The next team was the Beijing team they had seats at the front of the dome to the middle of the dome right across while the vancouver team was from the middle of the dome to the back of the dome. They had several exits, i always make sure anywhere i go i know where the exits are, this was no different lol and lucky enough table 10 was close to the side exit lol. |
