Top Five Reasons Why You Should DEFINITELY NOT Attend UNITE! 2023—The State’s Most Exciting and Professionally Rewarding Real Estate Convention
Are you sick and tired of attending events that can connect you with industry leaders, offer food and fun, plus provide an exclusive platform for professional growth? Well then, MNR has the perfect event for you to actively avoid—UNITE! 2023 at Mystic Lake Event Center in Prior Lake. Here are the top 5 reasons why you absolutely, positively should NOT be a part of this game-changing association convention:

1. Nationally Recognized Experts and Real Estate Instructors? Totally boring!
Who needs to network with and hear from nationally recognized experts from the real estate industry at their state convention? Forget learning about groundbreaking strategies at the amazing Mystic Lake Event Center.

2. Inspiring and Groundbreaking Keynote Speakers? Spare me!
Keynote speakers Zak Williams, global mental health advocate and son of the legendary actor and comedian Robin Williams; and Fawn Weaver, CEO and visionary behind the award-winning Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, will be sharing their stories. But hey, who needs motivation, career inspiration, and valuable insights? Keep binge-watching reality TV and let those dreams gather dust.

3. Earn Up to 10.5 Continuing Education Credits. Why Bother? 
Why would any real estate agent worth their salt want to earn up to 10.5 continuing education credits—over a $100 value in just a two-day span? It makes zero sense to get over two-thirds of your CE done in such a short time when you could spread it out over a whole year—and spend more money doing it. Steer clear of best practices, wave goodbye to compliance, and lose sight of current trends in technology. You do you. To see the exciting CE sessions you’ll obviously want to avoid, click here.

4. Innovative Sustainability Programming? I’d Rather Live in the Stone Age.
Why should Realtors® pay attention to emerging trends of sustainability in housing—one of the cutting-edge topics in real estate today? Embrace your inner ostrich and keep your head in the sand. Knowing and anticipating the needs of clients when it comes to sustainability in homeownership can certainly wait a few years. Just long enough for you to get lost in the crowd. To learn more about CONNECT @ UNITE, click here.  

5. Annual Awards & Installation Reception? No thanks, I’m Allergic to Celebrating. 
Why celebrate the accomplishments of your peers and get to know incoming MNR leadership when you can simply hide in the shadows? Plus, nobody likes kicking back with food, drinks, listening to some live music and making new friends, right? 

Now that you're well-versed in the reasons NOT to attend UNITE! 2023, we're almost certain your curiosity has been piqued. If you're a fan of missing out on complimentary breakfasts and lunches, exposure to industry giants, and career-altering opportunities, then, by all means, give it a pass. Save the date for the event you'll definitely, absolutely want to avoid. See you there (or not)!
