Why am I headed to NAR's Convention in November?

I've been asked by multiple clients of mine on a regular basis, since I've begun telling people that I had registered for the NAR's Convention, that is to be held in San Diego this November. I begin to tell them, that as a real estate technology expert, it is critical for me to be on top of the latest trends and products available to real estate agents. 

It's crucial for me to keep track of not only the latest and greatest in technology, but its also critical to keep track of the real estate technology (and marketing) products and services available, to give my clients the highest level of support out there. 

When at the convention, I form partnerships with service and product companies that are there, to either provide a discount to my clients, or so that I can later have meetings with them to learn more in depth about their product so that I can either integrate it with my clients current business or to help them in the support end of the product. 

I have been to NAR's convention before, and to several others, and find that the knowledge and inside scoop is critical to my business, as well as my clients.  It's things like attending this conference (I only go for the EXPO, which I spend a good 2 full days at) that give me the competitive edge over all other small computer repair businesses and the big box stores (best buy, staples and office depot) to provide you, the real estate agent or broker with the best possible IT support for your office. 

Those are several points that I bring out to my clients when they ask.  Below are several things that I am definitely looking forward to at this years convention and EXPO!

  • Go Paperless Solutions
  • Hewlett Packard
  • 8x8, INC
  • Numerous Real Estate Software companies
  • Xerox
  • Web Companies
  • Wireless/Communication companies
  • As well as marketing companies!

What are you looking forward to for this years convention & EXPO?  I will be around out there, so let me know if you are planning on heading out!  Stop me and talk to me about your technology troubles, I'd be glad to chat!

David - I've never been to an NAR Convention.  Wish there was a way to connect virtually and learn the info without actually traveling to San Diego.  It makes sense for someone like David Fox to go as he is in real estate technology, but I can't justify the ROI for my real estate business.  Have you ever attended one?
