    I go to Florida Realtors conference every summer in Orlando.  When NAR is in Orlando (every 3rd or 4th year) I go to that convention.

    My interest is more in the Trade Show than in the classes and seminars.  The trade shows provide a great opportunity to meet reps from the Tech industry, major lenders and title insurers, Starker exchangers, and other movers and shakers.

We went to one for Century 21 in Las Vegas in 2004, KW MegaCamp in 2006, and whatever year soon after that KW had their "Family Reunion" in Las Vegas.  Reminded me far too much of my travelling days in corporate america.  None since...

Paul, We used to go to the RE/MAX conventions every year, but I don't think we've been for about 6 years.  We liked it better when they rotated destinations, but now it's Vegas every year.  And our return as far as learning started to diminish over time.  We gained more here in the Rain without having to leave home.  Bill
