Fantastic advice! Funny, we've been to a bunch of Rallys, never thought to bring a headphone splitter. Great idea:) All signed up for Mentor Luncheons- One thing- we find it's always so hard to hear what's being said at our table there. Especially if you are not sitting directly near the Mentor. Any words of wisdom as far at that goes?

Thanks, Ed and Carol Nicodemi:)
As I understand it, there will 100 less people in mentor lunch than previously rallys? That's 100 less people raising the volume level to hear mentors at the table. (Or maybe we'll just all talk louder) :lol:

What about bluetooth headphones? I plan to come with two of those, one for me and another for the listener! My music is on Soundcloud so I intend to use these to present my music. I will use my iPhone as the device.

Listeners generally prefer to use their own headphones for sanitary reasons. Mentors are being asked to bring their own. Also, with only 15 minutes in a mentor session, I wouldn't want to deal with any technical glitches such as last minute Bluetooth connection or battery issues. I suggest going with audio jack headphones and a splitter. Also, although WiFi should be available, you never know. Therefore I think it's better to have the songs local on your device (as opposed to just Soundcloud) if you can.

Oh, ok, thank you.

On TaxiTV tonight Michael L said they had purchased 50 splitters to give to mentors.
