TEAM/LIFE’s Chart Topper Event, the New Go Diamond Weekend

TEAM’s Chart Topper event is happening this weekend, April 26-28, in Tampa, Florida. By all accounts, this conference is a renamed version of TEAM’s old Go Diamond Weekend. That event was restricted to Silvers (7500 PV) and above, whereas Chart Topper requires attending members to be Student 15,000 (15,000 PV in monthly volume — personal and team combined) and above. Looking at the LIFE Compensation Plan, this level appears to be analogous to the Silver level in Amway.
Those familiar with Go Diamond Weekend tell me that Chart Topper may be the conference where the TEAM leadership takes the proverbial gloves off. The tone of the message will be different from the rest of the major leadership conventions each year — less rosy false happy (i.e. the business is great and exploding!) and more hardcore and serious. Expect to hear some less-than-positive talk under the guise of tough love from the TEAM/LIFE leadership.
Chart Topper tickets costs $150/person ($125/person if you bought early). A search for plane flights (from Michigan) start at just under $700 and up. Hotel costs for two or three days will cost a few hundred dollars.

• $250-$300 Chart Topper tickets (two people)
• $1,400 plane tickets (two people)
• $250 hotel for two nights (Friday and Saturday)
• $120 food for two people and three days
• $2,020-2,070 Total

Readers – are these reasonable figures for attending a Go Diamond/Chart Topper event? Did you ever take the bus instead of the plane on such short notice (and such great distance)?
What memories do you have of Go Diamond Weekend? What do Student 15,000′s and above expect to hear at the Chart Topper event today through Sunday?
