We can’t wait to see you all in Salt Lake City next week. But if, for one reason or another, you aren’t able to make it, we’ve got you covered.

You’ll want to keep an eye on USANA’s social media throughout convention — #USANA14 — and we’ll do our best to help you feel like you’re here with us!

This year more than ever you’ll want to follow along on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram — that’s where you’ll find the most up-to-date, behind-the-scenes, exclusive information about this one-of-a-kind event.

That said, it’s not too late to register (and there’s always on-site registration).

If you are planning to join us in person, be sure to take a look at Gold Director Kathleen Rockney’s annual list of convention travel tips before you embark on this unforgettable journey (you’ll be glad you did).

Welcome to #USANA14

We like to call what we do during convention the USANA Social Media Experience. Sure, we’ve got a detailed spreadsheet outlining all the big announcements, can’t-miss speakers, and convention-only events. Keep an eye here and especially on USANAToday.com (login required) so you don’t miss any on-the-agenda items.

But what I’m even more excited about is our plan to offer blog readers, Facebook fans, and Twitter and Instagram followers a fast-paced, behind-the-scenes tour unlike any other. We can’t wait for you to be part of The Experience — 2014 style.

As in previous years, we encourage you to be part of the USANA conversation taking place in Salt Lake City and throughout the world. That means commenting on blog posts, sharing your thoughts on Facebook, and expressing your excitement throughout the twitterverse! Hot tip: don’t forget to tag your posts with #USANA14!

#USANA14 Social Media Mobile Station

Look for the Mobile Social Media Station during #USANA14!

Interactive, Mobile Social Media Station

For the first time, the USANA social media team will be mobile! Well, we’ve always been mobile, running from one end of convention to the other, but this year is different. This year we are introducing Social Media on Wheels (we still need a name for it; any ideas?)!

Look for the social media team — wagon in tow — roaming about the Salt Palace and EnergySolutions Arena, looking to give away exclusive t-shirts, scouting for the perfect selfie spot and interacting with our loyal social media fans.
