MLS TECH FAIR 2009 - New York
I am really excited that ActiveRain and the MLS of Long Island have invited me to be a guest speaker and part of their 8th Annual MLS Tech Fair this year. The days schedule will be filled with great speakers, topics, breakout sessions, and an exhibit hall full of new and exciting products from some of the Top Industry Service Providers.
The list of Sponsors for this event is nothing short of impressive. If you happen to be anywhere near Long Island, NY this week, you should take a day out and spend it with us. Once you see their site and all that is being offered, I think you'll agree that this is the Grand Daddy "Tech Fair" of ALL Tech Fairs. Come join us if you can, I'd love to see you there.
"Discover Innovative Ways To Recharge And Grow Your Real Estate Business!"
Some of the topics and panels I'll have the pleasure of participating on include:
Start networking with the largest online gathering of real estate professionals in the world.

A very special thanks goes out to Jenny Natale and Katie Windham for helping put all this together and for getting me to New York in "style!" They are a couple of "first class" ladies that I'm really looking forward to meeting this week. Also thanks to Jon and Bob for letting me take a little break, and even though I'll still be working, you can bet I'll be having some fun too!
If you want to follow us and participate from where ever you are, the twitter hashtag is #MLSTF. There will be plenty of twitter updates I'm sure. I'll be using that hashtag to solicit questions from our audience and any other followers during the last session. (3:15 to 4:00pm) Anything you'd like to know or ask our panel regarding "Leveraging The Power of Social Networking? We'd love to hear from you. :-)

Is this only for members of LIBOR?
Oh boy, if only I had known, I am thinking I could have set up a trip across the sound to LI. I wish you much success!
Ditto to Andrea. I wish we'd had more notice.
Love to see you down here in Florida! That sounds like a wonderful program.
Brad hope you have a great time on your trip to the big apple!
I'll bet Carolyn Tann-Starr will have a front-row seat. This sounds like it's right up her alley!
Brad - that's a pretty impressive group you are joining. So with the first class roundtrip air travel you must be feeling pretty proud of yourself. :)
Jeff
I'd love to be there Brad. When will you be in or around my neck of the woods???
Brad, It looks like the other speakers will be in good company. The topics and introductions sure wet my appetite.
Congrats, Brad. I am sure you will wow them with your speech and gain some new AR acolytes. And I am also sure you will be bringing us back some more goodies!
We will have to put you on the circuit around the Country with a stop in Toronto Canada, a little more Rain in the Fall won't hurt.
Blog-N-Roll Brad...
Do you play your guitar at these events? :)
Don't mind me. I just knew a day with me saying Hi to you, just can't happen :)
TLW...ROAR!
Oh...
And I'm sorry about my potty mouth. I've been hanging with a Marine. His influence is going to get me in trouble :)
Even BB has mentioned the potty mouth thing. That can't be good :)
TLW...ROAR!
How about this...
You delete that email and we'll both pretend I never said that :)
Disclosure: These comments were not made for points :)
TLW...ROAR!
Miriam - this event is NOT just for members only. Check out their website for more details.
Andrea and Rick - I'll try to give more advanced notice in the future. Been really busy lately. Sorry.
Matt - I'll have a good time, just let me know if you win the REBlogWorld trip. Good luck buddy!
Dick and Dixie - We'll be in Florida sometime soon....
Barbara - looking forward to meeting you in person at one of these one day soon.
Bill - is it possible to not have a good time in the "Big Apple?" No way!! :)
Leslie - haven't heard from C-Tann Starr, can you let her know about this for me? Just don't let her "Jack" this post. haha~
Jeff - not proud, humbled! Ok... maybe a little proud. lol~ :-)) This is going to be an awesome event, and to be up there with some of the best in the industry (some were my mentors) it really and truly is an honor to be here.
Susie - we'll be comin around the mountain when we come. Watch for a RainCamp to sprout up soon in your area...
Steve - it's really the other way around, I'll be surrounded by great speakers and company.
Jane - I am here to learn more than I am to teach. Some of the best learning at these events happens in the hallways.
Al & Peggy - Have laptop and iPhone, will travel. <grin> Sounds good to me.
TLW - do I play guitar at these? Heck no, I want to get invited back!! lol~ What email??? :-O (shhh...)
My goodness, Brad, I wish I had known, I would have definitely attended! They need you out here, you'll have to visit the MLSLI and look at the photos! Gee, I'm so sorry I didn't know you'd be coming to town!
John - I'll have to talk really fast! :-))
Laurie - you can follow our updates on twitter, just search twitter using the #MLSTF and you'll see everything that is being posted and talked about. I'll try to bring back some goodies (photos and video) to post about later too.
Carole - I came all the way across the United States to be here, you better come. I've been waiting to meet you in person forever!! Sure hope you'll try to make it.
Brad, I am soooo jealous! I was born and raised on Long Island and cut my teeth in real estate out in Moriches. I told my friends to come see you. Do you think they have some cheap fairs to McArthur???
Brad,
I have been watching the speaker roster for weeks and Active Rain was not on it till few days ago. I was not intending to go this year but when I saw your name, I immediately registered. I'll be in all your events. Welcome to Long Island. It's a great place. See you tomorrow!
Brad,
Wow! You are in great demand... and I know why.. :)
Hope you're in our area soon with your expertise to share!
I thought about plane tickets to Seattle but instead am hopeful that you will be closer during the next year.
Would've gone with one more day's notice. Just filled up my schedule this afternoon. Bummer!
Hi Brad -- That is a forward-thinking MLS to do that. It sounds like it will be a blast and very beneficial to everyone in attendance.
Hi Brad. I wish you would come down to Tampa Bay.
Brad: Sounds like a great opportunity. Maybe Tennessee will do something like this in the near future
Sorry guys for the last minute post about this, I figured anyone in this area would have already heard or known about this. I was also hoping this post would serve a dual purpose, it's my "out of office" message for those trying to find me.
We're here now so come on down. :-)
Brad, will you and the ActiveRain team be coming to the Central Coast of California soon? Maybe to San Luis Obispo?
Please let me know. Thanks!
Hope the event went as planned. I am originally from Long Island - Syosset. I was back in 2002 - needless to say a lot changed since the last time I was there in '67
Brad - Looked like a great event.
Robert - we'll let you know when we're coming! Count on it. :-)
Dora and Vincent, it was.
