Stampin’ Up!’s big convention, OnStage just ended. The “live” location – a 3-day (Thursday-Saturday) event led by CEO Sara Douglass & her mom and co-founder Shelli Gardner – was in Vienna, Austria this year. And other “local” OnStage 1-day events were held around the globe on Saturday: In the US…Anaheim, CA, Arlington, TX, Jacksonville, FL, Indianapolis, IN, and Pittsburgh, PA. In Canada…Montreal, QC and Vancouver, BC. And in the South Pacific… Auckland, NZ, Perth, AU, and Sydney, AU.

A perk I earned for being a million dollar sales achiever was costs towards attending in Vienna. Of course, I couldn’t pass that up!! So my images are from this amazing 3-day event! I took an overnight flight on Tuesday, November 8 landing around noon on Wednesday, November 9. The OnStage happenings were continuous Thursday through Saturday and oh…SOOOooo much fun!

I extended my stay here and will be sharing more of Vienna later. But for today’s blog post I wanted to give you some highlights of this event, sneak peeks of new products (be sure to watch the short video below), photos of the fun with friends (old and new), and a huge thank you…

I am so thankful for you and appreciate all those who have supported me in my business in some way this past year (subscribers, customers, team members, demonstrators, friends, family, followers, etc.), because I found out on November 1st that I was a top performing demonstrator this past 2021-22 Stampin’ Up! year!

• #10 in US sales
• #9 in US leadership
• #5 in US team building
• And #6 overall in the US!

Because of my achievements I walked across the stage a few times during the event for recognition marches for the categories listed above and for earning the Norway incentive trip. It’s mind-blowing. And I feel so blessed.

I just had to do a group selfie with these wonderful ladies when we celebrated our 1.2 Million in Sales Milestone. Too fun, right?! Hahahaa!

Here are the bonus gifts I received from Stampin’ Up! for being one of the top achievers. (This photo also includes an umbrella, the gift leaders received at the CenterStage luncheon.)

Thursday (the first day) included check in (notice the four languages and that there were many more German speaking demonstrators… which makes sense, right?),…

CenterStage (a special luncheon event for leaders with fabulous gluten free food choices for me),..

and the kickoff of OnStage right after with an afternoon MainStage event and an evening one.

The entertainment, games (my tablemates playing the “mimic the emoji” game below), and demonstrations were fabulous.

And the overall theme this year seemed to be about FUN.

Of course it was so wonderful to be with old, dear friends once again.

Here are glimpses of some of the unique things in the gathering place: the Espresso To Go cart, a coloring wall, a puzzle wall,…

…a balloon wall, and displays of course!

There were lots of display boards that included new products. And the boards continued to fill up over the 3-day event with samples from the talented people who demonstrated for us on stage.

Play this video to see 2023 Jan-April Mini Catalog product and sample images from the November 2022 OnStage Vienna display boards.

We sat towards the back each day, but the large screens allowed us to see everything presented.

I was surprised that everything was presented in English since this was held in Vienna. But it made sense to keep it all in one language or there would have had to be MANY more interpreters. Those attending that that didn’t understand English wore headsets throughout the presentations to listen to their interpreters.

Here are more photos with more lovely friends (old & new).

These are gifts that I received from fellow demonstrators.

What was inside some of them are shown in this second photo.

And these are the items that I received for as gifts and prizes just for attending.

It was an incredible experience attending OnStage in Vienna. I’m so glad and very grateful that I was able to take part.

I missed my teammates who were back in the states for the OnStage Local events (I had team members at six other locations!), but I know they had fun too. And I’m looking forward to sharing and comparing photos, ideas, and experiences.
