Are you a first timer at the Fall Conference?  Attending your first District 25 Toastmasters conference may seem a bit scary at first, but that’s why we have prepared this document for first timers. And no, we won’t ask you to jump off a veranda or even perform a trust fall. Just come to the conference prepared to have a good time and improve your speaking and leadership skills.

I'm sure you have a lot of questions about the conference.  Below are a few of the most frequently asked questions and associated answers.  Feel free to email additional questions to the First Timer chair:  Karen Scarborough .

How do I register for the conference?
Online registration is the most convenient way to register. You can also print, fill out, and submit a registration form via mail. Full conference registration is a bargain at only $125 for registrations received through April 23rd ($150 after). There are outstanding keynote speakers, educational sessions, speech contests, great food, and social events. Check out all the details on the District 25 web site. This is one of the best investments you can make in your ongoing speaking and leadership skills development.

What can I expect upon arrival?
We have a registration desk just for first time conference participants. You’ll be greeted warmly, receive a “first timers” registration package, and meet your Conference Ambassador who will be your personal guide to the conference. Friday evening there is a welcome reception for first time conference participants featuring Diana Patton, District 25 Governor on Friday evening.

Is there a dress code?
Daytime activities call for a business casual dress code (khakis and a polo shirt is fine.) Friday evening is your choice of either business casual attire or casual. Saturday evening is a more formal event so dress to impress (tux or suit and tie would be appropriate for men, evening dress for women.)

Where is the conference being held?
The conference is at the Sheraton DFW Airport Hotel, 4440 John Carpenter Freeway, Irving, TX 75063. This is a great facility offering a conference room rate of $89/night - click here for more details.
