It’s official, 20/20 Vision – our 29th annual Conference & Trade Show coming up on February 5 to 7 is completely sold out – we are no longer selling tickets.
As of January 29, we have sold 750 tickets to our annual 3-day conference, shattering our old record. Our previous highest selling conference – at 615 tickets – was back in 2016 when our headliner was Canadian astronaut, author, and Tweeter extraordinaire, Chris Hadfield.
Can I still buy a ticket? Sorry, you can’t!
Unfortunately not. And there will be absolutely no ticket sales at the door.
For years, our own arbitrary sell-out goal was 700. This year, when we reached 750, we decided to cap it – to ensure that there is space for everyone. We also have 50 exhibitors from our Trade Show who are welcome to attend the speaker sessions – so, 800 people is enough!
What pushed us over the top this year?
Based on member feedback, the special attraction THIS year is the incredible slate of six keynote speakers – all renowned with a broad range of talent across multiple disciplines – wrapping up with the one and ONLY Rick Hansen!
This is the first year we’ve been able to pack in six big-name speakers. It’s a far cry from our humble beginnings back in 1991, when we had one main keynote speaker and less than a dozen exhibitors in our old board basement!
Now, the FVREB Conference & Trade Show is the largest board-organized REALTOR® continuing education event in Western Canada. We attract REALTORS® from across the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the Interior and even some die-hard, repeat fans from Alberta.
Best value for REALTOR® education dollar
What’s not to love? World-class speakers, a huge trade show dedicated to REALTORS® and their businesses, tech workshops, a wine and cheese networking event with entertainment AND all for $139 + GST (VIP packages are $160 +GST). I mean, COME ON!
In addition – yes there’s more! – BC REALTORS® can receive 6 self-directed PDP hours by attending our FVREB conference.
On January 15, registration opened to non-licensees affiliated with an FVREB member i.e. a family member or partner that participates or contributes to your life and career. The cost is the same as it is for members. One-day passes or passes to see individual speakers are NOT available.
It’s an incredible feat to reach 750 tickets sold! Kudos to all members, conference volunteers and our board’s amazing education department team; Manager, Denise Harris and her Assistant, Janette Cholette, who pour their hearts and souls into this event. (Denise has assisted with or been the lead on ALL 29 conferences!)
If you missed out on 20/20 Vision, we are sorry. It will be history in the making. But remember, NEXT YEAR will be our 30th annual Conference & Trade Show – just wait for that! YOWZA!
