FROM YOUR CO-CHAIRS Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the REALTORS® Expo – real estate’s largest marketplace for business products and services. Shop 400 exhibiting companies for resources to better serve your clients, improve your productivity, and save you time and money. Imagine what just a couple hours at the expo could do for you! Research purchases for 2014, test out new products before you decide to buy them, and find discounts on solutions to your business challenges. Friday’s Innovation Open House, featuring emerging companies, is a great place to stay on the leading edge of real estate technology. There’s always an extraordinary array of prize opportunities at the REALTORS® Expo, so don’t forget to enter to win a new Jeep® Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 or a $1,000 gift card. Be sure to stop by the REALTOR® Pavilion to find out about hundreds of resources just for members from NAR, Affiliates, and REALTOR Benefits® Program Partners. Visit the Green Pavilion for environmental and energy-saving ideas you can share with your clients. Stop by the NAR Commercial Block; it has the latest in commercial products and services in one place on the expo floor. And don’t miss the International 2nd Home & Resort Pavilion to learn more about international properties and resort investment opportunities, and mix and mingle with real estate pros from over 55 countries. Real estate’s largest marketplace is also real estate’s largest networking space. Special events like the CENTURY 21® Tailgate Party and informal “Meet & Greet” sessions at the International Networking Center make the expo floor a dynamic place to meet other professionals from around the world. So join us at the REALTORS® Expo starting Friday afternoon at 3:00pm for the Grand Opening celebration, and start (kick off) the revelry with complimentary wines. We’re glad you’re here and warmly welcome you to San Francisco! Koki Adasi Steve Goddard Sincerely, Steve Goddard and Koki Adasi 2013 Meetings & Conference Committee Co-Chairs 1
