I knew it was coming.  How could you not know?  Well, today I received the email announcement.

ARMLS Technopalooza ... a  technology fair for ARMLS subscribers!

The Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service is really going all out this year planning this extravaganza that marries technology and real estate.  Most of us involved in social media are already acutely aware of this union, but it's nice to see it in print from someone of "higher authority".

So - if you're in Arizona and in real estate - you'll want to mark your calendar and plan on attending this day long event. Dustin Luther is a featured speaker with his presentation titled "Using Social Networks to Build and Engage your on-line Community".  Sounds too good to pass up.

Also schedule to speak is Jason Edwards who is a Master Trainer with Floyd Blackman.  Jason will be speaking on "Blog is the New Black: Converting on-line Blogging to Real Life Appointments"

Both topics sound like viable reasons to attend.  Oh yeah, there's also 30 vendors who will be there.  If you have any technology questions, this will provide an opportunity to get some good answers.  However, if your question does go unanswered, you can always stop by REBarCamp Phoenix the very next day --- guaranteed answers there :)

Wondering when this event will take place? ARMLS Technopalooza is Wednesday, April 22nd from 8:30 to 3:45pm at the Mesa Convention Center - in both buildings B & C. 

If you were in attendance for the SEVRAR Technology Fair in January, then you know that the Mesa Convention Center is a great venue with lots of free parking. Continental breakfast is free, but box lunches are $15 and need to be purchased at least 72 hours in advance. 

Speaking of box lunches, during lunch there will be a panel of speakers who will share their wisdom and wit with all of us.  There's no names named, but I'm sure those who are on the panel will be amazing speakers and will, obviously, share their secrets of success with the rest of us.

In addition to the speakers & vendors, there's also opportunities to do some electronics recycling, sign up to receive prizes, enjoy the free ice cream social and more! Be sure to check out their site for more information.

Well, I guess the only thing left to say is "See you there?"
