1) In years gone by, the night before the convention there has been a meet a nd greet . I am wondering if I should arrive early for it?
2) I am wondering how the new CDC standards will impact the convention. Will the size of it increase in either attendance or scope?
3) I am hoping more people consider attending.

Ray,
Although I will miss seeing you all at the Convention this year (vacation was already booked...and it's two years overdue!), I doubt the new CDC guidance will have much measurable impact any time soon. Their guidance doesn't affect any state or local regulations, which basically means we're back to the Governors and Mayors/City Counsels deciding whether or not to rescind their regs.
There are still a lot of people who are afraid. Fear is a learned response: it's been taught for 16 months now. Just last week the fully vaccinated were told we were required to mask up and socially distance because (and I quote) "the vaccine doesn't prevent transmission or becoming infected."
Now, all of a sudden, it's perfectly safe for those who have been vaccinated to go back to normal: no masks, no social distancing. With that kind of flip-flop guidance, it's no wonder people are distrustful. The CDC claim their studies have showed this proof. And yet, until yesterday, they were saying exactly the opposite and we had no word there were any such studied. The POTUS two weeks ago said if we all kept masking, maybe we could celebrate the 4th of July with fellow fully vaccinated family and friends so long as we kept wearing masks and stayed 6 feet apart.
Say WHAT?
It will take quite a while to undo the distrust/confusion.

Bill Mahr, who is fully vaccinated, just tested positive and had to cancel a show for the first time ever. However, he says he feels fine, so there's that. I guess he could infect the unvaccinated, so they cancelled the show in an abundance of caution. --50.82.xxx.xxx |

"..MASK RESTRICTIONS EASED, BUT BUSINESSES CAN STILL OPT TO REQUIRE MASKS..."
"...In a major shift, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Thursday that it would ease its indoor mask-wearing guidance for fully vaccinated people. Read more: CDC says fully vaccinated Americans can go without face masks in most settings..."

"...While Metro’s mask mandate officially ended at 5 a.m., individual businesses can continue to set their own restrictions regarding the use of masks...."

"...Metro's COVID-19 Task Force Director Dr. Alex Jahangir said the change was made after speaking further with local health experts.

1) I am not so much concerned about to mask or not to mask issue - common on folks what is an extra weekend after over a year. Don't get caught up in that trap. It doesn't matter how a standard is set - the focus should be always moving forward. NOW I am all about the food during a road trip.
2) In the past there has been an in house luncheon offered. Any chance of that occurring or will be on our own for lunch.
I loved having that in house so you could network and discuss the topic of the day. With it being in house, lunch could be completed faster so you could cover that much more.
3) I do applaud keeping the social distancing in place. Common sense goes a long way. Don't go around licking strangers and even if you love that doughnut - after it hits the ground, don't eat it -even if it is a Boston Cream.
4) As for the meet and greet- this lets me know what time to roll into town. There seems to be a great deal to do in the area. I always assumed Nashville was always about the banjo. I am learning that there is more to than that - there is Jack Daniels and a thriving music scene downtown too --24.154.xx.x |

Interesting how the slippery politicians slither away from the responsibility of this and leave it up to the individual businesses to enforce after the mandates end. Any business that enforces this after the MANDATES end, is doing so from a political standpoint. Freedom loving Americans should shop elsewhere. No justification enforcing these rules AFTER the governing bodies who put them in place ENDS THEM! --70.44.xxx.xx |

Jeffrey just distributed an email about this.
Good News!
We are less than one month away from our Landlord Convention and I am excited. I must not be the only one excited about all that will be taking place because we have sold out of the limited space (due to social distance requirements) available in our meeting room. We will now have to start turning landlords away which we do not like doing. This brings me to my main reason for writing you this note.
If for any reason you now know that you may not be able to attend, please contact us immediately and let us know. We will be glad to give you a complete refund and that way we will be able to allow more landlords who are wanting to participate to join us. If however, you do not cancel now, after May 21st, convention tickets are non-refundable. Our direct toll-free number is 1-800-950-2250 or reply to this email.
One other area where I need to be clear, because the last thing I want is any misunderstandings with anyone who will be attending. I want this event to be the most powerful, profitable and game-changing landlording event of the year, without any unnecessary distractions. When I first announced the event, I was very upfront that masks will be required in the meeting rooms. I understand that several states have loosened some Covid restrictions. However, since I stated upfront that masks will be required, many attendees from different states made their decision to come based on their comfort level with everyone wearing masks. Therefore the mask policy will still be expected out of courtesy to those who came with that understanding. I will therefore still be asking that masks be worn in the conference rooms.
I will look to all who have freely decided to attend to cooperate with this mask policy. If you feel, for whatever reason, you do not wish or are unable to abide by this mask policy, and choose not to attend, I totally respect your stance or concerns on this matter. I just ask that you not attend this event and we will be look forward to seeing you at a future event. Again, you are free to cancel now and you will receive a full refund. I'm determined to help as many fellow landlords as possible, who are not going to let masks deter them, and who are looking to exchange proven and creative landlording solutions with other successful rental property owners from across the country. That will be my entire focus for this event. I look forward to you and 150 other determined landlords joining me toward that aim!
See you in less than 30 days, and counting:)
Helping Landlords who are Determined!

Just discovered we had Southwest credits left from an aborted trip to Houston last year. And that SW has non-stop 1.5 hour flights to Nashville from ORF. So we decided instead of a two-day drive, plus hotels and meals, we are flying for free :) Masked up, face shields on.
We are going out on the 8th because we get there a bit later in the evening, so will have all day on the 9th to just be. Leaving on Saturday night but NOT before the Convention ends, flight isn't until 8.30. So looking forward to the whole thing! --50.82.xxx.xxx |
