Maybe I should volunteer to be a keynote speaker. ... Hahaha

Subject: The future of the P&P business. Why MCS, FAS & Other alphabet soup companies suck.

Then they are making the keynote speaker a "working lunch" which only means they need to hire extra EMT's to help everyone choking on their food.

My opinion is to hire Wilbur, Jalapeno on a stick, bubba and peanut since at least it would be fun.

if someone can afford to shell out $2000 for this "conference", are they really going to get anything out of a "Property Preservation 101" class?

Wonder if I can charge a discount rate and get some of my money back.

Lol everyone should day the allowable is only $50.00 & we will only pay 30-60 days after convention and if we think it was not good enough we reserve the right to not pay.

Technically, that may be possible if one was to pay with a credit card shortly before the event.

Just some food for thought....

Now that would be some funny SHIATE:laughing:

The type of classes they are putting on will only be able to be afforded by the folks that are already knowledgeable in those items.

I don't see this being well attended simply because of the price.

Down around $200 registration for the entire expo plus the cost of rooms........ a lot more folks will show up.

Maybe if you would quit being so jewish with those hundo's

I am going to pass.

I think the NAMFS conference will have a better networking group. The classes, I dont want to say I know everything already but I probably know more than how they describe the class, REO 101?

The price is high too.

In my opinion it's always worth it to network with others in the industry. I made some nice contacts at the last FAS conference I went to in 2010. I don't know much about this one, the list doesn't seem to be completed yet.

For what its going to cost, in my opinion NO its not worth it.

But thats a determination that only you can make for yourself.

Ask yourself, if you were given the choice, would you rather listen to the heads of a national spin out power words and phrases, hear another version of marketing, or would you gain more at a conference led by like minded contractors who have experienced the ups and downs of this business and survived to tell their tale?

good point, the netwokng is also good. $$ a little step.
However, this may be worth monitoring. What if the fee gets cut in half?

Conferences rarely provide value through their classes.

Value is finding other contractors like you or more successful than you so you can learn real stuff. My first conference radically changed how I did business.

The other value is sales opportunities.

There is also a Jerry Springer like attraction too. Every conference has some nut job stand up and bitch out his best client in front of everyone and then gets fired. Really, who wouldnt want to do that? But who keeps the "I need to keep these guys to make a living" filter on.

My favorite Springer moment: Keynote speaker at 2009 Corelogic Conference, they have Britt Hume trashing Obama and all things Democratic. They pass the mic around. Lady stands up and states that 9/11 was an inside job. She was walked out of the conference to the front door and delisted.

Well we received another email from the "conference"...
Last Chance to sign up early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I sent the following email to them...:no:

It has been a month since you first notified us of this "amazing" event...
You still do not have everything together.
You expect us to shell out 1500 a head to attend this event???
I don't think so. We have been in contact with several vendors that feel this is some sort of scam.
First...everything you wish to cover WE KNOW...just what are you going to be able to tell us about our coverage areas?
What are you going to be able to teach us that we don't already know or have not learned along the way??
Your organization is going to "certify" my company???
What are you qualifications to certify us?? Do you really believe sitting in one of your sessions will relate to quality work? That some magic wand will be waved and the major players in this industry will suddenly start paying us with respect to the work-loads on services provided? Do you really believe that companies like FAS, Cyprexx, MCS, Safeguard, etc, will discontinue their practice of being an extension of the banks and treat the small vendor that actually provide service with respect?
Who has certified you and put you in charge of "approving" our company for this field of work?
What is your connection to this industry?
I’m sorry but it is our feeling and several other companies that I have spoken to that the companies that really need this “training” session do not have the resources to attend your event.
You need five days??? Everyone else does this in one or two….
You want us to “pay” to be a VIP????
Just for the record…All the business related “classes you will “have available” are already being provided by the SBA at local events in communities in every area of the country. Please explain to me why I should pay to attend your event to listen to lawyers, technology people, etc, when these issues and business related subjects are covered locally once a year by the SBA and all of us can attend for FREE??
Perhaps if you were organized a little better and actually had your speakers and events lined up this would sound a little more professional. Currently it sounds like you are waiting for the monies to come in from early sign up so have resources to “hire” speakers and others to assist with this event…
Contact me when you have your act together and then maybe I will consider having my company attend this…oh and you will need to drop your fees by 70% Currently you sound like LAMCO, give us $800 and we will certify you as a legitimate Property Preservation Business and list you on our website…:jester:

Just asking...:whistling:whistling:whistling:whistling:whistling

Has anyone else received email directly from this organization???
Or spoken/had contact with any representative of this organization??:sad::sad:

I have been to many conferences. They usually list the names and qualifications of the people giving the classes. I don't see any on their website. If it was a couple hundred bucks, I would go as an excuse to go to Vegas and to network. . It will be interesting to see if they get enough people to sign up to even have it. By the way if anyone wants a pp certification just send my $20 and I will make one on my computer and email to you.

I'll take 7 of them. One for each preservation company I'm going to create. Lol
