Informative education sessions and inspiring keynoters highlight Sell-a-bration 2020
Another Sell-a-bration® has come and gone, but the memories, connections and knowledge gained will last a lifetime.
Sell-a-bration 2020 brought nearly 1,000 attendees consisting of CRS Designees, RRC Members and guests to the Omni ChampionsGate in Orlando, Florida Feb. 14–16, 2020, to participate in the premier annual conference in residential real estate. The theme of this year’s event was We Are More, celebrating the growth that CRS Designees achieve with superior education and networking. The theme was interwoven throughout the event with the symbolism of trees—the ultimate symbol of growth and rising to new heights. As Richard Waystack quoted, “A tree can only be as strong as the forest that surrounds it.” When CRSs grow, they grow together—and a little more each time they connect at events like Sell-a-bration.
What attendees said when asked to describe their favorite part of Sell-a-bration 2020:
“My favorite part was introducing first-time attendees to new connections, and watching their eyes grow as big as saucers.”
—Anna Meczyeor, CRS
“It’s always great connecting with the best in the industry! That’s what makes Sell-a-bration the best conference in the biz!”
—Jennifer Teske, CRS
“Networking with similar-minded people who want to keep learning.”
—Donna Schneider, CRS
“All the rockstar agents I met and connected with. I will be in Nashville!”
—Leslie Floyd
Music City, Here We Come!

Sell-a-bration 2021 will be held Feb. 1–2, 2021, at the Omni Nashville Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. In addition to the world-class residential real estate education that is expected at Sell-a-bration, the Council is adding even more networking activities and ways to engage with other attendees. Think referrals!
Participants had the opportunity to attend nearly 30 informative education sessions. Pre-conference courses were also held, enabling attendees to gain valuable knowledge and earn credit toward the CRS Designation. The four general sessions featured a lively DJ and dancing from members. It also brought two powerful keynote speakers to the stage—Scott Stratten and Daniel Levine—who left the audience with key takeaways that were both applicable and inspiring.
Special breakfasts, welcome receptions and a happy hour brought people together to enjoy food and drinks as they networked with other professionals. In addition to those events, over 150 guests attended the Valentine’s Day-themed CRS Night Out. These and other event photos appeared on an event social media wall. The photos highlighted attendee perspectives using event hashtag #SAB2020 across various social channels. Professional photographers and videographers also captured key moments of the event.
