We have streamlined registration, included longer breaks for room changes and networking, created a more aligned schedule and added the HAR Genius Bar & Member Lounge with one-on-one time with speakers and HAR staff.
Now let’s not forget about the Exciting lineup of speakers that we have in store for you! This year’s program includes speakers such as Chris Smith with Inman News, Event Catalyst Thom Singer, Curt Beardsley with REALTOR.com, and a fan favorite from last year, motivational coach Tom Ferry.
