And Now for Something Completely Different

This week, in the lead up to the year’s biggest real estate event, REALTOR® Magazine brings you our “Conference Picks.”
NAR Annual 2021 Expo

If you’re on your way to Orlando this week, congratulations on making the choice to attend NAR NXT: The REALTOR® Experience. NAR’s flagship event, the REALTORS® Conference & Expo, has been reimagined to bring you more value. This is your time to immerse yourself in what’s now, what’s new—what’s NXT. All week, REALTOR® Magazine will be sharing pre-conference highlights, along with tips on enjoying your time in Orlando.

Start Each Day at AXIS

AXIS isn’t just a registration hall—it’s the starting point for entering the Expo Floor and general sessions. It’s also the center of your conference experience: Charge your phone at one of several charging pods. Rest or work in the AXIS Lounge. Put yourself on the cover of REALTOR® Magazine at our Cover Star Booth.

Expo: Opportunity Land

From AXIS, it’s a quick hop to the NAR NXT Expo. Wear comfortable shoes, and give yourself enough time to take a complete pass through the expo hall; you never know where you’ll find the right solution to enhance your business. Other reasons to spend time at the Expo:

  • Meet visitors from around the world at the Global Pavilion.
  • Challenge friends—those you came with or those you meet here at NXT!—to a game of Jenga, ping pong or cornhole at the Town Square.
  • See presentations and live product demos at the Town Square Theater.

Don’t Miss This!

At the Sustainability Corner, sponsored by GE, see the sought-after induction oven and watch as green chefs demo the induction cooking process. Plus, “name” your tree! That’s right, NAR’s major sustainability initiative, announced in October, is the planting of 1.575 million trees, one for every member. Pick up your tree-shaped sticker and add it to the wall to visualize the positive impact REALTORS® will have on our national forests.

Expo Hours

Friday, Nov. 11, 1–5 p.m.
Saturday, Nov. 12, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.
Sunday, Nov. 13, 9 a.m.–3 p.m.

NAR NXT Homework

While you’re at the conference, instead of turning on the TV at night, take 30 minutes to:

  • Review your NAR NXT app and highlight the NXT day’s must-do events.
  • Add the names of people you met into your CRM and send them a quick, “nice to meet you at NXT.”
  • Relax your mind and body. A face mask, foot soak, or meditation can help ensure you get a good night’s sleep and feel refreshed for the NXT day.

First-time attendee or solo traveler?

There’s a meetup area in AXIS designated specifically for you. Also, you can connect with others at the:

  • First-time attendee welcome and orientation
  • NAR NXT Expo tours
  • Universal’s Islands of Adventure Meet-Up
  • Daily networking sessions

Check the NAR NXT app for details.
