First-Timers -- those families who have never been to a Friends for Life conference -- will comprise nearly half of the attendees in Orlando this summer. First-Timers are from nearly every state and at least a dozen countries. We recognize that being a First-Timer might seem overwhelming at times -- so many people! So many choices of sessions! How does one meet people and make friends?
Meet our First-Timer Hospitality Group! Headed by Nabil Elarbi and Katie Daugherty, who once were First-Timers themselves, the First-Timer Hospitality Group has one thing in mind: to help you feel more comfortable at the Friends for Life conference. Need to meet someone your age or from a particular part of the country? They will help you. Need to find your way around the convention center? Ditto. Need some suggestions for which sessions to attend? Got it. Just need a hug? We're here.
First-Timer Hospitality will be located adjacent to the Registration area, and it will be staffed Tuesday through Friday during registration hours. Stop by with questions, or simply to say hello!
Other First-Timer opportunities:
- The CWD Teen Welcome Group would be happy to send your child (any age) a 'hi and welcome!' email. Please send a request to [email protected], and include the child's age, email address, and whether they have type 1 diabetes or are a sibling
- Teen First-Timers Reception: Wednesday 3:00-4:30 in the Wedgwood Ballroom. Teens only!
- First-Timers Reception (all ages, except for teens because they have their own room): Wednesday 3:00-4:30 in the Crystal Ballroom CDE. Meet Jeff Hitchcock, Laura Billetdeaux, and the other CWD staff, say hello to your children's program leaders, meet hundreds of other first timers, and don't go away hungry!
