Assistant Roster and Schedule for the

World Fitness Convention 2010

Los Angeles, CA August 4-8

July 8thUpdate

Welcome to the Assistant information site. Please continue to check this link every few weeks between now and the event. There is general information at the beginning and specific shift information below.

Please contact me (Dana, ) if you have questions or need to make a change to your schedule.

We have five Assistants shifts for this event – totaling over 200 assistants. The IDEA staff wants to thank you in advance for your commitment and dedication to this role. The assistants are vital to the success of any IDEA event and we depend upon you to fulfill your assignment. The Assistant Program operates as a work-study program, you are allowed to attend sessions (and receive education) in exchange for the time you work. Assistants do NOT sign up or register for sessions. You attend classes on a space-available basis by waiting in the Stand-by line for sessions. This has historically worked very well.

World 2010 is proving to be one of our most exciting events ever! If you have studied our brochure you know that the week is jam-packed with special guests, parties and celebrations. As an assistant, you are invited to participate in all the activities. We recommend that you clear your calendar from work and other activities during the week so you can fully enjoy the event. The days are long and exhausting – prepare accordingly.

Assistants are responsible for travel, lodging and food expenses.

There is a roommate list available through member services.

If you still need to make hotel arrangements, please contact the

Wilshire Grand Los Angeles and mention that you are coming for the IDEA event. The reservations number is 888-773-8888. More information can be found on our website and in the brochure.
