La Paz, BCS, Mexico - This year's Conference and Expo for the National Association of Realtors will be held from November 8-11th at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. With the US market starting to recover and the industry becoming more global, attendance records are expected to be broken.

It is anticipated that 28,000 Realtors will attend. This will include what will likely be the largest contingent ever from outside to the U.S.

For example, last year for the first time ever a Chinese delegation came (30). This year it is expected to be double that number be at the Conference. The Mexican contingent is expected to be larger than last year. A CIPS Institute was held in Los Cabos last June. Several members of AMPI Los Cabos are expected to be at the CIPS breakfast to receive their certificates and pins.

Educational session will be held on a large range of topics. One will be Making Money in Mexico. Linda Jones Neil, CIPS will moderate a panel that will deal with topics such as commercial, international, market segments, sales and marketing. The panel will represent a cross section of Mexico's real estate professionals. Cameo appearances will be by Thomas Lloyd from Top Mexico Real Estate, Cancun and Julie Kershner form Sotheby's in San Jose del Cabo.

Various international social events will allow for networking among realtors from around the globe. Speaking at the General Session will be Hilary Rodham Clinton, former Secretary of State for the United States of America.
