ActiveRain Member Appreciation Party - NAR Convention Vegas

By
Real Estate Agent

Get ready for this years premier event at NAR's National Convention in Vegas! 

Initially we were planning on sponsoring a booth at the Realtor expo, but in true Rainer style I decided to spend the booth sponsorship money on throwing a party instead. 

The cocktail party will be hosted in my suite, pictured above, at the Palms Hotel. 

The room can accommodate up to 75 people at a time, and I am hoping that every Rainer that wants to come will be able to fit. But in the event the interest in this party is greater than expected we will be offering up batches of invites in various blog posts leading up to the event.

This post being the first opportunity for an invite has only one condition; invites will go to the first 15 Rainer's to RSVP in the comments below. 

It looks like we will be okay for room, so I removed the restriction on number of invites in this post for now. Just leave a comment below if you would like to come! 

Details:

Party is by invite only. Each invitation will allow for the invited Rainer plus one guest.

Date: Wednesday November 14th

Time: 7pm or 8pm till late

Place: My suite at the Palms Hotel. "The Crib" is the name of the suite.

This post will become RSVP central, and I will be posting pictures of all confirmed attendees below.

I really appreciate the effort that went into hosting the rowdy bunch that was at the party last night.  We had a GREAT time... or at least I know that I did.  It was a lot of fun getting together with people from all over the country that I had exchanged comments with.

WOW I had SO much fun last night!  That was SOME PARTY! 

Perfect mix of intelligent, opinionated, net-savvy business people - it doesn't get much better than that.

My love to all the friendly Rainers I met last night!

There were a lot of photos taken, but I didn't bring my camera and refuse to take photos with my phone.

Can I make a request that we update the attendees photo list by making all of them have links to the person's page?  I'm new here and wanted to say hello to some people I met, but I'm terrible with names.  I would also love to see my pic up there, too!

Thanks again for a fantastic party!  I had such a great time, everyone was great, and the headache the next day was worth it!

Can't wait for the next opportunity to meet up with more AR people!

Jonathan, the AR party was seriously one of the highlights of the conference. Thank you for sponsoring it. Sorry we didn't chat, but thanks for that great picture of my partner's butt... (posted elsewhere on AR. Find it; I dare you.) You guys, Seth Godin and the Nike/Starbucks guy made the whole conference worthwhile. Other than that, well, I'd say the industry has a lot of catching up to do...

Jonathan and crew - the party was EXCELLENT and meeting up with so many of the ARainers was def a high mark of the week in Vegas. 

Networking like this is 'where it's at' and you guys are the leaders - as always.

It's always cool when you find out that people are as great in person as they are in their blogs; my personal belief is that you (A|R) attract such a class of professional, being that you 'attract' what you 'are' - and you folks are the pros.

Again, well done and solid for all of our businesses. Thanks for continuing to help agents everywhere focus on their core competencies and move forward toward their own individual goals for success!

Cheers!
