I can just feel the state of Florida sink as the multitudes of REALTORS(r) and Vendors decend upon Orlando to the 2008 National Association of REALTORS EXPO and Conference. Questions remain…
1. How many REALTORS(r) will show up? 3,000 or 20,000?
2. How many Vendors will show up? Word on the street many Vendors cut back on staff this year. It will be interesting to see who made the cut.
3. Trade show traffic. Will the REALTORS buy?
4. What are budgets looking like next year? Only so many dollars for those “per member per month” type deals.
5. And what about the rumors? Will they all come true? Will new ones replace them? Time will tell.
So get your Twitter on and follow us from the lobby bars, the hospitality parties, the industry parties, the after parties, the after-after parties, and all the blood sweat and tears that is NAR 2008!!!!
And remember Vendor Alley Trade Show RULE #1
NEVER, and I mean NEVER go BIG on the first night!
Ahhhhh…..but will you heed your own advice? Rumor has it you go big every night!
Maybe, but I’m a professional.
Greg: The first night has come and gone. I applaud your comittment to fatherhood, but you can’t go big with apple juice.
Looking forward to your leisurely appearance.
