 REALTORS® from around the state are set to gather in Las Vegas June 5-6. That's because Nevada REALTORS® will host its first state conference in more than a decade.
The event, which offers free registration for Nevada REALTOR® members, will be held at the M Resort in Las Vegas with content and programming focused on the conference's 'REALTOR® of the Future' theme. Stefan Swanepoel, the country's leading real estate trends analyst and author of the Swanepoel Trends Report will be featured as well as XPLODE- a premier, fast paced presentation that forgoes sales pitches in favor of genuinely useful sessions on digital marketing, social media, predictive data and video.
Conference registration opens April 1, but is limited so early sign-up is encouraged. Be sure to read your weekly newsletter, follow the state association's social media channels (Facebook.com/NevadaRealtors and Twitter: @NVARnevada) and check our website (NVAR.org) in the coming weeks for more information. |
