New 2-Day Pass Introduced for Worldwide Partner Conference!

Many partners have expressed that they cannot afford to attend WPC due to the cost or the fact that they can’t take that much time out of the field. There is good news! A new 2-day pass has been announced. Partners, if you were looking for a cost-effective way to attend WPC, this is your opportunity and this is THE year to attend with all the changes to the partner network! When you register be sure to use the special promotion code in the invite below.

As of last night, June 3^rd, NCA partners who are flying out of Minneapolis, can book a ticket for $315 on AirTran. There are also still rooms available ranging anywhere from $179 - $209 and up. However, a lot of the less costly options are quickly disappearing. Basically, here’s the breakdown for a partner from Minneapolis to attend WPC for 2 days.

2-Day Pass $ 995

Airfare $ 315

Hotel $ 440 (2 nights @ $220/night)

TOTAL: $1,750

This is a savings of $1,200 over the cost to attend the entire event!

ACTION REQUESTED – sign up for WPC today then hop on WPC Connect and start entering in your daily schedule; try and connect with as many people as possible during WPC!

As always, let me know if you have any questions regarding this information.

Cheers to a great year!!
