WRA notes, Paperless Convention Notes on a Surface

WRA notes, one more reason to be happy I invested in a Surface.

The Wisconsin Realtors Association sent me an email a few days ago reminding me of the upcoming WRA Convention, like I could forget. They were also informing me that they will no longer be having printouts of the lecture notes; we will now need to download them and bring them along.

Nice that we will now have the opportunity to preview the notes for each of the available workshops, though I am sure many will be unhappy without the stack of handouts at the door.

Fortunately I recently bought a Surface tablet that fits nicely inside of my pad folio that I generally take to meetings like this to collect my notes and take a few more.

This time around I will be packing lightly and not bringing home so many stacks of paper.

The pdf files are already downloaded on to my surface and I even took a few minutes with each of the pdf editors that came with this nice little machine so that I will be ready to take notes in the modern way.

It will be strange coming home from the convention without a file folder full of meeting notes, but maybe this time I will be able to read my notes since my typing seems to be a little neater than my handwriting these days.

Another good thing to have is a Kindle fire from what my friend says. Everybody uses it likes it and it's very affordable between 39 and $50 instead of $500 for an iPad.

Hopefully your Surface gets you thru the conference. I liked mine til the keyboard stopped working-right after warranty expired.

Bob this makes total sense to me! I recently attended another real estate convention and they were still handing out paper.  I took notes on my phone and ipad instead. A few speakers did send me their PP and notes after the fact - which I was happy about.

That has been the theme of our Association for a few years now. I thought it was more about saving money and the time to produce them. Regardless, it is a smart way to keep everything together in one folder and know where to find them after the class.
