James’s keynote address, “How to Win in the New Era of Real Estate,” will concentrate on industry changes over the past 12 months and how to successfully pivot and adjust to those changes.

Additional speakers will include Mitchell Skinner, Esq., Managing Member of Larson Skinner, LLC, who will provide detailed explanations of important real estate industry trends.

Two lunch options will also be available—a Buffet Lunch held in the airy new Atrium—sponsored by Dolgetta Law PLLC and Robison—as well as a plated RPAC Luncheon held in the Tarrytown Ballroom, sponsored by 1st Priority Mortgage.

Members Day will once again feature a trade show with 50 Exhibitors including lenders, home inspectors, home service firms, insurance companies, tax consultants, oil tank and pest control services, photographers, videographers and much more. However, this year, all Exhibitors will be located in the same space, sharing half of the Grand Ballroom, so they will be much easier to locate.
