It’s time once again to register for Clareity’s Annual MLS Executive Workshop, which will be held March 5-6, 2009 at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. Optional afternoon outings and a cocktail reception will be held the day before, so plan to arrive on March 4th! Many of you have urged us to keep the workshop small and that means turning away late registrants - so please go to the website and register - http://www.callclareity.com/MLSWorkshop/.
Who should attend? Anyone that will be involved in selecting a new MLS system, managing an MLS system, or building an MLS system will benefit from this conference. This workshop is not for MLS vendors or other suppliers.
Every year we listen to your suggestions and strive to make the next year's event even better. Last year we improved the wireless access and added more power outlets. Several participants urged us to continue to provide the presentations on thumb drives – we’re glad you liked that improvement over the heavy binders we used to hand out!
As we do every year, the agenda will befinalized in the two months before the Workshop, to ensure that we don't discuss "old news" and only the most current topics will be discussed. If you have a specific topic you feel is a "must", please let us know so we can add it to the agenda. Like last year, even topics that aren't covered in formal sessions can be addressed at the "Open Session" at the end of day two.
When asked, "What did you like best about the workshop?", we heard some nice kudos including:
The great topics and content
Knowledgeable speakers
No fluff or sales
The informative panel discussions
The opportunity to network
Ease of communication and interaction
Every year we have to turn people away when we run out of space - so please go to the website and register:
Also, please book your hotel early to guarantee a room at the event hotel – the Scottsdale Plaza Resort. More information is available on our web site - ask for the Clareity group rate.
Thanks again for the many kind words and I look forward to seeing you next March!
