It’s hard to believe we’re less than a month away from NAR NXT, Nov. 6–8 in New Orleans. The city holds a special place in my heart. I first visited in 2010 to cover the BP oil spill, one of the biggest stories of my career at the time. I returned later that year for my second NAR conference—dubbed “NARdiGras”—and fell in love with the historic city. One memory that has stayed with me is covering a Habitat for Humanity home build, a powerful reminder of the difference REALTOR® members make in their communities. Sixteen years later, I’m excited to return. This year’s NAR NXT features Ryan Serhant, founder and CEO of SERHANT., and country music icon Reba McEntire, plus sessions on emerging technology, networking opportunities and the industry’s largest real estate expo. The 12-piece band Party on the Moon will perform at NAR NXT FEST on Friday, Nov. 6, during a welcome celebration that also marks the 25th anniversary of the REALTORS® Relief Foundation, bringing the conference’s community impact full circle. Registration is open, and there’s still time to make your plans. I hope to see you in New Orleans! —Erica Christoffer Sign up for NAR REALTOR® News Daily or Monthly. |
