I just checked it out and am NOT happy .. 
It was originally scheduled to be in Houston, which was happy news for many of us, esp. here in TX, and we have been waiting patiently for it to be re-scheduled twice due to the Covid thing .. and now it's suddenly going to be in CALIFORNIA instead (as have been the last several conferences before now 
) ??? WHO made that decision and why was it not submitted to the members for their comments/feedback first? 
What a disappointment .. looks like I won't be attending this one ..

Not at all .. the two I have been to before (one in Houston, one in San Antonio) -- I went alone and had a blast (despite driving through rush-hour Friday afternoon Houston traffic to attend that one ). 
Major tip is you want to get there in time to be able to attend the "welcoming party" .. You'll find a lot of familiar OH faces at same, and they are all so positive and glad you were able to come. It's a smaller group environment there, but yet you don't feel self-conscious if you are alone. 
It will give you a chance to meet other members who you don't know, as well. I think I got to meet OH's national spokesperson there and her husband, as well (she was the drummer in Selena's band in the original biog. movie 
). IIRC, this is on the day/evening before the actual meetings begin. You are all set them to decide which meetings you want to attend on the following two days. In between meetings, you are free to either return to your hotel room or to hang out with other members for the meal breaks, to check out the exhibitors'/vendors' stands and see what they have for sale in the way of WLS products, visit the "clothing exchange" etc. If there's enough time (such as after the conclusion of the day's meetings), some members will even get together on their own for a walking tour (or even a drive tour) of parts of the nearby city. 
Bottom line is your are free to be as sociable (or solitary) as you choose to be during the event.

Grrrrr ... (maybe she needs to confer with "Pioneer Woman", who has managed to LOSE 1/2 that much weight during the Covid crisis by adjusting her own diet 
)

Looks like she is rocking .. has now lost 260 lbs. Keep it up, girl! 
(I still can't believe when she was only 5 y.o. she weighed 160 lbs. 
)

I haven't been following her particular story on T.V., so I don't know whether she is a pre-op or post-op, but if she is post then drinking more than a bottle of liquor a day I would say = transfer addiction ? Very sad to see ..
