Program: Friday, September 11, 2009


Friday is another big day for workshops and continuing education courses. First thing in the morning the main stage welcomes Dustin Luther for our General Session. Dustin first hit the real estate scene when he founded Rain City Guide, a popular real estate blog that covers the Seattle market. He currently runs an industry Web site, 4realz.net, focusing on social media marketing and technology for the real estate industry. Dustin will present “Using Social Networking Sites to Drive Business.” In addition, a $500 door prize will be awarded at this session (must be present to win). Following the General Session, it's your final opportunity to attend convention workshops before they end in late afternoon. See the schedule below:
