Exceptional education
Keynote Speaker Bill Barrett offered tips on how to excel in real estate while still living a fulfilling life outside the industry in his presentation, "How to Live and Breathe Real Estate and Still Live and Breathe." The Keynote, which was sponsored by Land Title Guarantee Company and the Lowry Redevelopment Authority, met a receptive audience of nearly 2, 500 people who filled the CCC's new state-of-the-art Lecture Hall. The Lecture Hall was sponsored by Metrolist, Inc.
Later in the day, that Hall was home to a presentation by former Denver Bronco Mark Jackson along with commercial experts John Propp and Mark Van Ark. The trio enlightened attendees about opportunities in the commercial arena available to residential real estate brokers. The session was sponsored by Americus Mortgage, Inc.
The REALTOR® Rally continued its tradition of offering exciting, timely education sessions throughout the day. Attendees chose from more than 21 education sessions featuring top presenters from Colorado and around the nation on topics ranging from contract strategies to home staging, and from starting a real estate team to entering the world of international sales.

Record-breaking trade show
In the Majestic Ballroom, exhibitors featuring the latest and greatest real estate products and services expanded to fill every inch of the 50,000 square foot Majestic Ballroom.
