Last week over 31,000 Realtors converged upon Sin City (Las Vegas) to meet/greet and network amongst other Realtors and exhibitors at the annual conference of the National Association of Realtors. This was held in the Venetian Expo Center.Entertainment abounded with James Taylor and Bill Cosby on the big stage.
There were classes and lectures given by nationally acclaimed speakers/trainers. Topics concentrated on the "changing market" and marketing techniques to reach and impact consumers. Of course, technology was the focus of the show. Realtors ooohed and ahhhed at the new innovations they saw at the trade show.
Over 775 exhibitors showed their products and services to Realtors and other vendors for four days. These exhibitors set up their booths and banners and computer monitors to explain their myriad offerings.
There were many groups that met and exchanged information and laughs. These groups included YPN, Young Professionals Network and CRS, Certified Residential Specialists, WCR, Women’s Council of Realtors and Star Power Realtors. All these groups, and others, held their own professional conference at the NAR show. The attendees knew that "what happened in Vegas does NOT stay in Vegas". The information and learning was designed to be brought back to Realtors' office-mates who were unable to attend the show.
The NAR is the biggest trade organization in the nation. The members met and discussed proposed legislation, ethical rules of conduct and made connections for referrals both locally and nationally.
The Realtor-attendees, the vendors and the NAR organizational staff all cooperated to make the NAR show a smashing networking success.
