NAR Orlando - Active Rain and Social Networking - What a Blast!!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Shoreline - NH and Maine NH and Maine Broker


Orlando Convention Center

This year's NAR Convention is a very different one for me for several reasons.  I've always attended governance meetings and NAR educational sessions.  This year is the first where most of what I've done, and will be doing, is outside all the NAR stuff.

And what a blast this convention has been so far!!  I've had the great pleasure of attending the Cyber Professionals meeting as a guest of Linda Davis, along with fellow guests Monika and Jay McGillicuddyChris Griffith was a guest as well.  Other AR members who are part of the Cyber Professionals are Kristal Kraft, Jim Lee, Angus "Moo" Woodbury, Sharon SimmsTeresa Boardman was there as well.  How great to finally get to meet some of these people that I've interacted with online for some time now, some for years at this point through other online networks and communities!

We had the great pleasure (!) of finally meeting Rich Jacobson and Brad Andersohn, @ActiveBrad and @ActiveRIch.  They were our speakers yesterday morning, and Rudy from Trulia spoke to us yesterday afternoon, @Trulia.  This morning we'll be hearing Brian Brady and Greg Swan speak to us at our breakfast meeting.

I've seen lots of pictures from different meet-ups, and thought I'd share some of mine as well.  Put your cursor over each picture for description and/or names.

And no doubt, tonight even more pictures will be taken as the AR Orlando Party takes place - 8pm at the Hard Rock Cafe at City Walk.  Now THAT should be fun!!

I am LOVING this year's convention, and to think I almost didn't come......

Ann - Love the new pic!  I really wish I could of been there but I must say I enjoy the pictures of everyone.  The word 'vicariously' rings a bell or two.  And those ducks are pretty darn cool;)

Ann, I was so glad to see Moo in the photos. How is he. I know, I for one miss him here on AR and have been worried about him. Now, I can stop all that worrying. If you see him or talk to him let him know that he is sorely missed, please.

I am so envious...I really missed a great event.
