Sometimes, but I never go. i always wonder why our office would ask agents to drive for 1 hour to the office, listen to some pitch from a lender, title company, or home warranty company for 1-2 hours, then drive another hour home. it makes no sense to me to waste a half day on something that could have been accomplished with an email teling agents why we should consider company x or y.....

We haven't done that in years.  Everything was via zoom for quite some time.  I am seeing some events making a comeback.  We'll see what happens.

We DO have them at Association Office . . . and since they keep 'em going I presume they have good attendance!

No, but that's because I'm an office of one.  :)  They'll just take me to coffee.  In-person stuff is back with a vengeance out here though.

 

I am attending an in-person lunch and learn in a couple weeks that a local association is putting on.

I get overwhelmed with emails that invite me to events of all kinds from professional to social, usually fundraisers (which always costs me money). Although all of them have value if for nothing else than networking, I have to choose wisely.  A free lunch, for example, isn't enough for me to go.
