New forms of communication are important to REALTORS®. NAR is keenly interested in new media channels and is therefore announcing that a dedicated room will be available to Real Estate bloggers during national meetings. The first meeting that this facility will be available for will be the 2006 Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo (May 15-20) in Washington, DC.
It is unfortunate that we could not react fast enough to the blogging phenomenon during 2005. The good news is that NAR will be supporting bloggers from this point forward.
The room will be operated by the staff of the Center for REALTOR® Technology (CRT) and you can expect power, internet connections and other comforts. If you would like to conduct interviews for your publication, drop us a line and arrangements will be made. There is one important point of differentiation between bloggers and the working press though, you must be registered for the conference.
Feel free to post other suggestions for the room to this forum. In particular, we would be interested in ideas related to special events, comforts and services that will make your activities easier during conventions.
We’d also like to know you’re coming (outside of being subscribed for the conference) just so we can keep an eye open for you and say “Hi!”
Very cool!
