Networking, food and continuing education were part of the Illinois REALTORS® Conference & Expo in Collinsville Thursday.

During the morning session, Anthony Huey presented “Make your message memorable,” and the Expo full of more than 60 exhibitors continued to draw attention from REALTORS® through lunchtime. Participants visited each booth to qualify for a prize drawing for a Go Pro Camera donated by American Home Shield. REALTOR® Barbara Markham of Re/MAx Preferred Holden Realty Inc. in O’Fallon was the lucky winner of that prize. The REALTORS® Political Action Committee Raffle raised more than $3,000 for RPAC, with REALTOR® Loretta Alonzo-Deubel of Century 21 Affiliated in Westchester winning the drawing.

In the afternoon, Mark Given presented an elective CE “Negotiate like a pro,” to hundreds of REALTORS® at the Gateway Center during the afternoon session. Check out the photo gallery below to see if any of your colleagues were digitally captured by photographers.
