We know everyone is watching travel dollars, so we convinced our hotel for The Event of the Year – the 2009 LeadingRE annual conference March 26-28 in Scottsdale, Arizona – to provide an Internet rate special of $259 from January 26 to February 6 when you book online, stay at least three days, and prepay. To do this, go online between those dates to and book your room.

If you have an existing reservation – Call reservations and cancel current reservation with the reservations department (480.624.1202). At this time, you can rebook your reservation with the $259 non-refundable rate, which requires pre-payment and 3-night minimum stay. You may also rebook your hotel reservation online.

The rate will revert to $289 after that so act soon!

Other conference incentives/savings and program information can be found at http://events.leadingre.com.

Also, our principal and managing brokers (only!) will soon receive a special invitation to a session not on the official conference program on Thursday afternoon, March 25…a “tech strategy symposium” that we believe will be a pivotal discussion on how brokers will lead in this new space going forward. Watch for that…and join some of our top strategists – recognized industry-wide – for straight talk and behind-the-scenes intelligence on how to make technology and the online world work for you.

Lastly, we are eliminating our usual fall regional workshops for 2009, so keep that in mind as you plan for Scottsdale, to make sure your team connects with other members for referral business.
