Here’s some info to help your with your office hours:
- The sheets with the time slots you sent me will be posted upstairs outside the pop-up shop (Zuma room) at the hotel.
- When you arrive and throughout the conference, please check there to see which slots people signed up for. Be prepared and available for all the time slots you listed.
- Five or so minutes before your time slot, please find a table in the bar and wait for your office hours attendee. The attendee should find you (your photos are in the program) but if you see someone wandering and looking, feel free to see if it’s your person. 🙂
- If you have another spot you’d prefer to meet, like by the pool, you must add a little note at the top of your sheet about where to meet BEFORE anyone signs up.
- Office hours attendees are supposed to write their phone number next to the name in their time slot. If an issue arrises, please text them.
See you soon!
Love,
Nicole & The Dear Handmade Life Team
