If you are one of the early birds, you know where to find all the fun. Take the elevator to the 7th floor and BINGO you have arrived at the Be-All Hospitality suite. Eat, Drink, and be Merry! Enjoy hot and cold appetizers, fine wines, cocktails and soft drinks. Start your week off right and mingle with old and new friends. You must be a registered Be-All Conference guest to attend. If you need a night out, there are many local restaurants.

See you in the AM... the Gift Shop has anything you could need!

WEDNESDAY

For the Be-All Cafe or Registration Desk, go to the 2nd floor atrium level, both are open early. The Be-All Cafe is sponsored by the conference and is no charge as long as you are registered. Enjoy fresh hot coffee, teas, juices, soft drinks and some of the finest pastries, bagels and trimmings from a local bakery. Go ahead and indulge, you’re on vacation! Most of the vendors will be open for business so buy yourself something special or make an appointment for nails, hair, makeovers, and more!  After you’ve worn yourself out, join us for a drink in the Hospitality Suite. In the late afternoon, you can enjoy a dip in the pool. Then join us for a special buffet and entertainment as the dinner hour rolls around. After, hang out at the Hospitality Suite or the hotel bar where the conference provides even more entertainment for you.

Hope you had a fab time today!

Saturday is the best day to be here. Many of the doctors will be presenting and consulting today. This is a great opportunity to take the time to talk with them about any questions you may have. Vendors will be open, so be sure to go down and support them. Join us at noon for lunch with a very inspirational guest. After lunch, there is plenty to do! There will be a book signing, the hospitality suite will be open, and the seminars will be going. At 5 PM the limousines will be waiting to whisk you away to the fabulous Esplanade Lakes facility just minutes from the hotel for the wonderful Saturday Night Grand Banquet. The banquet includes dancing, food, fun and our annual Panoramic Photo.

Now, wasn’t that the best time of your life?
