Your Last Minute Guide to NAR Annual

In just a few days, thousands of Realtors will descend upon Orlando, Florida for NAR's annual REALTORS® Conference and Expo.

While NAR Annual is a great place to hear industry leaders speak and participate in educational sessions, don't forget about the educational opportunities available in the expo hall itself. That's right, within that maze of booths, agents and brokers can learn about new products--and also about the solutions you already use.

While you're at NAR annual, take a moment to visit the booths of the tech vendors your brokerage works with. There, you can learn about important new developments, watch demonstrations, and even listen in on short talks about topics like impressing clients and closing deals.

Here's a short list of tech company booths you can visit at NAR Annual (see the full list here). Each vendor also appears in our 2016-17 Technology Guide. Use the Guide as a resource to research vendors before approaching them at the conference. (And don't forget to use the Guide's handy lists of questions to ask when evaluating a solution--it can help you make better technology decisions!)

• Cloud CMA - Booth 1185
• CoreLogic - Booth 1065
• CRS Data - Booth 1747
• DocuSign - Booth 419
