Did you know?
The REALTORS® Conference & Expo was ranked #10 on a list of the Most Innovative Meetings by Bizbash due to the Conference Live initiative. Much of that success comes from the hard work of Featured Attendees who provide their unique perspectives to create an amazing virtual event experience for real estate professionals.
What is Conference Live?
It’s an online window to the REALTORS® Conference & Expo and it takes viewers behind-the-scenes of real estate’s largest event happening this weekend in Chicago. Members at home can watch interviews with conference speakers and view exhibitor demonstrations. Plus, they can follow along with the experiences of over 35 Featured Attendees – REALTORS® and board staff from across the U.S. – who will share their personal experiences and reflections during the event.
