RE/MAX Awards: The Lowdown

The RE/MAX Awards Celebrations are set for Feb. 11 (Minneapolis), Feb. 20 (Milwaukee) and Feb. 24 (Indianapolis).  I know you know about it as we’ve been sending emails and getting registrations galore.  But….do you really know about it?

This year’s celebrations will have an all-new format and flow to the day.  Let me explain:

For starters, this is a mid-day event, scheduled from 2:00pm – 6:00pm.  No more fighting traffic on the drive in.  You’ll still have time to work in the morning and you’ll be back on the road by dinner time so you can keep your evening plans.  Of course, if you want to stay and play you’re more than welcome to – all hotels have a block of RE/MAX rooms reserved and ready for you!

Secondly, speaking of the timing of the day, this is a true 50/50 split between a party and an awards show. From 2:00pm to 4:00pm we’re going to throw you a very happenin’ party.  From 4:00pm to 6:00pm we’re going to honor everyone’s 2014 achievements.  And don’t think this event is just for award recipients.  It’s not.  That’s why we’re throwing a party first: to honor everyone’s hard work throughout 2014 and get you jazzed for what 2015 has in store for you.  So….don’t be tardy for our party.  Seriously.  Come at 2:00pm.

Third, but not last, a few more reasons you should come (on time)… 1) Flair tenders.  You know, the Cocktail type that flip and toss the bottles while prepping your favorite drink.  Yeah, we’ll have that!  2) Slow-mo video booth.  Maybe you’ve seen one at a wedding lately?  Maybe not?  Either way, here’s your chance to step inside, check it out, and have some fun with friends!  3), 4), 5) Music, mingling, and food.  Oh goodness, lots of food, please come hungry!  Yes, this year’s pre-party is just as big of an event as the awards show.  You won’t want to miss it.

So, there you have it folks, the lowdown on why you should register for the RE/MAX Awards Celebration today!  See you all there….
