Be sure to review your registration and hotel accommodation to ensure your dates match!  You want to make sure you arrive at the correct hotel (some have similar names) AND that your reservation is actually on the day you’re booked to arrive!  (Lessons learned from those that haven’t…)

Be sure to stop by the designated TR registration area located in the Main Lobby of the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center at the following times.

Read through the information you receive at registration and determine your route for the days to follow. There are a mix of classes, informational sessions, networking opportunities, and committee meetings!  You won’t be able to attend everything, so find your passion and enjoy your conference!

Committee meetings…

Attend any or all the committee meetings that capture your attention. While attending meetings, you are welcome to sit anywhere on the perimeter, as table seating is reserved for committee members.  Feel free to raise your hand or go to the microphone to make a comment, as the Chairs often recognize and welcome visitor input.  When you do, please state your name and your association prior to your question or comment.  Reminder:  If a vote is taken, only Committee members may vote!

Evening events… Be sure to review the MANY receptions taking place during the evenings and get tickets in advance.  These events combine the opportunity to meet new people and greet old friends, often while enjoying a beverage and appetizers.   (Events do sell out, so purchase your tickets in advance online or as available, at the TR Registration Table.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions, get involved, and have FUN!  If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to ask a MetroTex or Texas REALTOR® staff member, or one of the members from MetroTex.  We’ve all been “First Timers” and we’re here to make you feel welcome!
