    I just tried to book at the Embassy Suites and they couldn't find the $169/rate. Do you have a code, or what should I have them look-up (they couldn't find '90 Minds' or 'Meeting of the Minds')?

    The code is 90M Here is the link. MOTM Hotel Link http://embassysuites.hilton.com/en/es/groups/personalized/S/SANDNES-90M-20150218/index.jhtml let me know if you have any more problems. @steveiwanowski

    Thanks for the reminder; we just made reservations. Be advised that there are no 2-bed rooms in our block. However, the couch pulls out to a sleeper.

    @JerryNorman - that's strange - when I booked the room it wouldn't let me get a 1 king room...I could only get two beds...


  • 8.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-02-2014 09:18
    Again email me if you have a problem and I will get it fixed.

    Call the hotel and ask for Johanne. or Sarah 619-234-2400. They can make changes as needed.

    Posted 12-02-2014 09:19
    I talked to an agent there. As of now, anyway, only singles left - but with the sleeper too.

    Posted 12-02-2014 14:10
    Thanks @JimWoodhead It's all good now. See you in a few months!


  • 12.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-02-2014 14:10
    The phone number is 619-234-2400. The website definitely will not let you book room. Johanne was not in


  • 13.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-02-2014 14:20
    @GaryFeldman more rooms are being added for the Tuesday & Wednesday nights.. They should be there this afternoon. Please let me know if you have any more problems.


  • 14.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-02-2014 14:21
    Thanks. I left Johanne a message and will try again this evening eastern time! Wednesday was probably the problem.

    Will the scripting class much different from last year's? In other words, if a person attended last year, would he learn anything more this time (besides the stuff that fell out of his brain in the past 12 months)?


  • 16.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-02-2014 14:42
    @AlnoorCassim may like to elaborate but it will be similar to the session offered prior to Summit this year. (It hasn't been a whole year yet @JerryNorman , it only seems like it!) If you had any issues in that class or haven't utilized the skills yet, this is your chance to reinforce them!


  • 17.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-02-2014 14:52
    Oh, yes -- Summit. @ChuckPeddy took that class and though it was very good. But he has lots less falling out of his brain than mine, so he's probably ok with missing this one.


  • 18.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-02-2014 15:13
    @JerryNorman to confirm the scripting class will be pretty much the same as the one in Vegas except I will have added more material to the manual, the reference guide, and more scripts in the package of scripts. Some people are in fact signing up again to either reinforce what they learned or because they haven't utilized the skills yet.


  • 19.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-02-2014 18:46
    Or they just like spending time with you, @AlnoorCassim.

    I'm looking forward to MOTM in San Diego. That said, I'm even more stoked about all of you coming down to my slice of Heaven for Summit! I've already talked to Sage about where Summit will be held and I have a lot of ideas on just how we can turn NOLA on its ear. Trust me, I know how to party in the Big Easy!


  • 21.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-03-2014 07:11
    Lord help us all!


  • 22.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-03-2014 07:18
    How about we just have the next MOTM is New Orleans and NOT in the summer?


  • 23.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-03-2014 07:24
    I have some beads from the DC Inspire pit stop that I can bring Chuck. They were the basis for earning door prize tickets. Then I find out that ""partners"" weren't eligible for the good door prizes so I just kept the beads. Take THAT Sage.... Chuck, can you line up a midnight cemetery tour???


  • 24.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-03-2014 08:02
    @ChuckPeddy - Where are they having it? We are really excited about having Summit here!!


  • 25.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-03-2014 10:01
    I booked the 19-22 dates. 2/18 was still not available on the website.


  • 26.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-03-2014 12:57
    @JohnLeonard , Sage informed me that they will be using the Convention Center so I'm sure that their main hotel will be the Riverside Hilton. Of course, it doesn't matter because there are so many great hotels at that end of the CBD and Warehouse District. We need to get with Therese, Jim, Robert, etc. to see what they want to do regarding a 90 Minds party. Rather than some breakout room, I know the owners or managers at a couple of different restaurants close by that would be fun for a party.


  • 27.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-03-2014 12:59
    @JeffSchwenk , midnight cemetery tours, VooDoo tours, Haunted French Quarter tours... yep, all available. It'll just be a little warm and humid!


  • 28.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-03-2014 13:05
    @ChuckPeddy I will definitely need some help with the logistics. We can start planning at MOTM over Margarita's!!


  • 29.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-03-2014 13:09
    Works for me, @JimWoodhead !


  • 30.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-03-2014 13:17
    I will not be in San Diego for pre-planning, but if there is anything we can do as far as coordination etc. let me know. I figured it would be at the convention center. In late July, it will be hot.

    Question... there is a member and a non-member price. If I bring another consultant from my office, do they get the member price since I am a member (and they are an employee of Arxis) or are they considered a non-member?


  • 32.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-05-2014 09:49
    If they are not a member of the 90 Minds Socialcast group, they are a non-member but MAY attend since you are a member @ShannonSadowsky

    For those people in your firm who are also in Socialcast and have paid for a Socialcast license as part of their renewal - they can sign up at the Member (Socialcast) rate. If they are NOT in Socialcast and are part of your firm then they would use the Member (Others from company) rate. We tried to give our members who are participating in Socialcast a break on the normal registration. Also please note that our early registration expires next Friday 12/12 at midnight.

    Great, thanks @ThereseLogeais :-)


  • 35.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-05-2014 10:58
    Can someone tell me what time the pre-conference Scripting class starts on 2/18?


  • 36.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-05-2014 11:06
    8:00am but subject to change. I'll send you a separate msg too.


  • 37.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Thank you MOTM admins for accepting debit cards, unlike SageU....


  • 38.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 12-05-2014 16:41
    Just another bit that sets us apart.....


  • 39.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 02-04-2015 09:51
    Ouch - I just looked at booking embassy suite - $330 now!!!


  • 40.  RE: Meeting of the Minds 2015 is now open for registra

    Posted 02-04-2015 10:16
    I don't have a reservation for Wednesday night because of that. Thursday through Saturday nights were still lower, but no where near the rate. I bitched in my comments because the rep never called me back in December when I tried to book. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! They should go work for Sage.

    Ok if anyone wants a roommate - let me know - otherwise I will book around the corner!
