Attendees at this year’s event will walk away with fresh ideas, new contacts and referral partners, and a renewed commitment to their business.
“It’s year number 25. It’s going to truly be the most celebratory Sell-a-bration® of all time,” says Brian Copeland, CRS, with Village Real Estate Services in Nashville, Tenn., who worked with the Council to develop the program and will emcee the event.
Sell-a-bration® 2013 kicks off Jan. 31 with a series of interactive, topic-driven and solution-focused workshops. Scheduled workshops include: App-i-tizers!

“This year, we’re adding conversation and implementation workshops, and the main-stage program has been completely transformed to optimize your time with the best and brightest at Sell-a-bration®. You’ll hear from 10 or more people on the main stage in the morning sessions and then be able to get almost one-on-one with them afterwards to dig deeper into your personal needs in your business,” Copeland says.
The conference program includes a welcome reception on Jan. 31 and luncheon on Feb. 1. Luncheons on Thursday, Jan. 31 and Saturday, Feb. 2 will require tickets purchased separately. The pre-conference event, Buyers Legends on Jan. 30, will require a separate registration fee.
