ORLANDO, Fla., July 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Motivational advice from top industry trainers, the latest in high-tech devices and a chance to network with other real estate professionals: That's what the Florida Realtors® 2017 Convention & Trade Expo offers – opportunities to boost business and the bottom line.

This year's Convention & Trade Expo takes place Aug. 16-17, 2017, at the Rosen Shingle Creek resort in Orlando, with the popular REBarCamp slated to kick off the event on Tuesday, Aug. 15. Then Realtor members will get down to the business of the state association and wrap up the week with governance meetings, Aug. 18-20, 2017.

"Florida Realtors' annual Convention & Trade Expo offers a wealth of business information, trends, best practices and more – every Realtor in the state should have it marked on their calendar," says 2017 Florida Realtors President Maria Wells, broker-owner with Lifestyle Realty Group in Stuart. "The new format makes it possible for individuals to customize their convention experience. In just two days, the convention is packed with inspirational speakers, education sessions, networking and exciting entertainment; then the focus shifts to the state association with governance meetings and planning for the coming year."

The 2017 convention features more than 35 education sessions from top industry speakers on various topics such as new trends in real estate, improving sales and productivity, digital marketing, converting leads into business and building successful real estate teams. Sessions are organized into eight tracks that allow attendees to focus on a core interest: global, technology, trends, customer engagement, productivity, personal growth, broker and continuing education.

Wells adds, "Florida Realtors' annual Convention & Trade Expo provides outstanding value for all Realtors. Not only do leading industry experts share their tips on profitability, along with success strategies and top marketing techniques, but it's also a chance to network with industry colleagues from across Florida! It's a 'can't-miss-this' business opportunity for every Realtor in the state."
