What is the benefit of speaking at the Realtors® Convention & Expo?

Speakers receive increased visibility within the real estate industry, which includes not only Realtors®, but also managing brokers, franchise owners and local/state real estate board staff.

Speakers also receive a complimentary pass to the event in the year they are speaking. This pass is a $195 value and provides access to other educational sessions and the two-day REALTORS® Expo. Please note that the pass does not include ticketed events or the General Session. In addition, all speakers receive a complimentary audio recording of their session.

Florida Realtors® provides speaker compensation in the form of negotiated platform fees associated with education breakout sessions (NOT KEYNOTE SESSIONS), in addition to negotiated fees for travel (airfare or mileage - no meals).  Fees would be negotiated once the selection process is complete.

Why am I not permitted to sell/promote my products and services in the session?

Attendees come to the session for an educational experience, not to hear a sales pitch. They consistently give negative evaluations to sessions that they perceive to be “product or personal pitches.” A trade show booth is the appropriate place for business transactions and promotional activities. Speakers who are also interested in exhibiting at the Realtors® Expo should email Amanda Mallette.

If you have difficulty with the online submission process, email Nicole Gioia.
