Candy: The sure-fire way to sweeten them up in the registration line.

Think about it.  Your attendee got out of bed at 4AM to catch a flight at 6AM.  Had a middle seat and a bad connection.  Missed coffee.  Arrived at the airport to find their luggage is lost in the clouds. 

Got in line for a cab during a rain storm and stood there for 30 minutes.  Arrived at the hotel to find another long line and then discovered that her room won’t be ready until 4:00.  Now they head toward the registration line, slightly wet, without luggage, tired, hungry, and wondering why on earth they ever signed up for your meeting.  When they get up to the front of the line, you can see smoke coming out of the ears, be it tired smoke.

That’s exactly why you want to have some candy in a bowl at the registration counter.  I used M&Ms or suckers but any candy that’s wrapped  individually will work.  That quick burst of sugar will help get their blood levels closer to balance temporarily and help them feel better.
