The 2008 National Association of REALTORS Conference and Expo is just over a week away (Nov. 7-10). That means I’ll be traveling to Orlando, and it’s gonna be a busy week.
I hope that I’ll be able to see a lot of familiar faces, and get to meet even more new ones. In case you are going to be in Orlando, and you want to know where you might run into me. . .
Here’s a rundown of the things I’ll definitely be doing:
Thursday–
NAR Leadership Luncheon (required, since I’m going to be Vice-Chair of a committee next year)
Giving a presentation about social media, in my role as Inman News Community Manager, to IT and Marketing folks from the member brokerages of The Realty Alliance.
Friday–
Saturday–
Checking out the Diamond Dwellings Web 2.0 Panel at the Expo.
Understanding Real Estate in Real Time: Business Technology & Information Systems Forum (I’m the Vice-Chair for the forum committee for 2009)
Sunday–
Nothing planned, yet. But I’m sure that will change. 
Monday–
I be doing a presentation about Flickr, as part of the session: Services You Can Use in Your Business. I hope I can make Teresa proud.
Flying home.
It is going to be a jam-packed few days, but it should be fun. Of course, you can follow all of the action on Twitter, and Jeff Turner even set up a really cool group-tweet account for everyone attending. He can tell you how it works.
If you are going to be at NAR in Orlando, don’t be afraid to reach out. You can send me a text message or just give me a call: 434-962-7305. I always enjoy meeting new folks. I have also created an NAR 2008 Flickr group, so if you are going, you have a place for all your photos, and if you aren’t going, you have a place to catch up on what others are up to.
If you are going and plan to be blogging, tweeting, or whatever, remember that the official tag for the event is NAR2008 or #NAR2008. That will help those who aren’t attending find the info better.
See you in Orlando!
