You might think that my trip to Las Vegas is for a chance of luck. But it is quite the contrary. If I don’t go to Las Vegas for the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® Annual Conference I would be taking a huge risk. This year’s conference is an exceptional value and is worthy of your time and money. The return on your investment is a sure win!

If you are uncertain if you will attend, consider these reasons.

  • Re-Energize Yourself: The conference has a history of high energy and exciting experiences, and this year will be no exception with the partnership of the lights and dazzle of Las Vegas.
  • Re-Tool Yourself: The conference is known for the quality sessions and speakers, and this year will be no exception. In fact, the conference program has been expanded and enhanced to provide a broader audience with valuable take home information.
  • Re-Kindle Relationships and Make New Ones: It has long been known that conference is the best time to build relationships and re-kindle old ones. It is a wonderful opportunity to put faces with those voices we have long been talking with. It is commonly known that people want to do business with people they know, and if they don’t know you, how can they do business with you?

Now that you have decided to attend here are some tips:

  • Register NOW and save some money. The early bird conference rate ends February 9, 2010, and the fabulous rate at Encore expires on February 12, 2010.
  • Arrive early and stay late – for the conference, for sessions, for receptions, for everything.
  • Make an effort to meet someone new at every opportunity. It is easy to spend much of your time with people you already know, but it is important to expand those relationships and make new relationships.
  • Bring lots of business cards and don’t be shy about sharing them.
  • Entrench yourself. It will make the event even more memorable.
  • Be well rested before you arrive. You will be getting up early and staying out late and need to have every ounce of energy to rely upon.
  • Drink seltzer water instead of alcoholic beverages. It is easy to get caught up in the after hours activities, but be careful, overindulging can result in the loss of business. Be on your best behavior; no one wants to do business with someone who has become unruly.

Extra Benefits:

  • I hope that you will achieve the same extra benefits that I have received from attending the conference. I have found the conference to be more like a vacation with good friends than work. I look forward to it every year, and I hope you will too.
