Convention Schedule?

Post by mothermayi? » Fri Jan 09, 2015 2:00 pm

Does HOD have a posted convention schedule? HOD hasn't been to Phoenix in the last couple of years so I am wondering if you guys ever come here? Are there any curriculum expos in lieu of the convention?

Thanks!

I thought that they usually end their conventions by June in order to get orders out and written. But I am going to beg. It is not pretty.


Pleeeeaaase come to Phoenix just once. Please, please, please?

Thanks :). Has HOD ever been to Phoenix? If not, who could blame them for not coming to the low desert in July when it is 120* (just kidding :lol: ).

I think they highly limit the conventions they go to also because they are also a homeschooling family and they just don't have the man power.

As HOD grows, one thing they might consider is having other people man a booth. I know other companies have local representatives who have used their curriculum for years man their booth and they do this for a discounted curriculum price. I also know that HOD brings their physical books to sell at the conventions. Most companies (anymore) don't do this. They have you buy it and they ship it too you. If HOD started having someone represent them, then they would need to move to this as well. You wouldn't want to ship a bunch stuff to a convention that you weren't personally attending so you many need to move to having people order it at the convention and then mailing all of it out.
