‘Technology Wonderland’ for
those on the go
All you need to know will be under one roof at the seventh annual Technology Fair and Trade Show, “Walkin’ in a Technology Wonderland,” on Thursday, Nov. 13 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 111 Realtors Way in Cary. Hosted by the Triangle Multiple Listing Service, it will feature 30-plus exhibitors with the latest technology tools designed for the real estate industry. The trade show, training sessions, and lunch and drinks throughout the day are all free. New this year, visitors will have access to laptop computers in the Cyber Café. There, you can check your e-mail or surf the Web, and enjoy a cup of coffee and snack while you’re at it. “Beauty and the Geek” will be presented by real estate technology experts Dick and Shelby Betts at 10:30 a.m. and, again, at 1:30 p.m. They will discuss the new real estate e-consumers and what they expect from their agents, review the various options of hand-held devices (PDAs) and offer some “A-ha!” moments with surprising tips and tricks. Mary Ellen Randall of Ascot Technologies Inc. will present “How to Get the Most Out of Your Blackberry Phone” at 1 p.m. Her program will help you tap the hidden power of your Blackberry, beyond telephone and e-mail. Randall will cover such features as speed dial and auto text, and share numerous time-saving one-key shortcuts. You will learn how to customize your calendar view, add notes to phone calls and much more. Seating is limited, so register today. If you have yet to figure out Tempo 5, drop in on one of several mini-Tempo 5 training sessions throughout the day in the Computer Training Center. Instructors from Marketlinx will review functionality and features of the updated MLS software system, including setting preferences, conducting searches, working with results grids, creating reports and more. Many of this year’s exhibitors are recognized as technology pioneers in the real estate industry. Among their products and services will be third-party software, photography, computer repair, Web vendors, digital printing, inspectors, direct mail and much more. So, don’t miss “Walkin’ in a Technology Wonderland” to get up to speed with the technology that can add to your productivity and better prepare you for the future.
