<div class="entry-content"><p>The first annual <a href="http://nashvillerec.com/"><font color="#0066cc">Nashville Real Estate Consortium </font></a>happened yesterday May 5, 2011 at <a href="http://5andm.com/"><font color="#0066cc">5th & Main</font></a>.</p><p>We woke up to a cool, crisp morning here in Nashville . . . PERFECT weather for an event in a non-air-conditioned space with less than optimal break-out spaces. Most of the sessions happened in the courtyard sun. I consider this a stroke of luck because we here in TN are right smack in the middle of our “Severe Weather Season†which is often filled with torrential rain, high winds, and tornado warnings.</p><p>We had prepared the event space the day before, and many of the sponsors were able to set up their tables then . . . Others arrived early and got set up before the doors opened.</p><p>The music was lively and the coffee was flowing from the <a href="http://noteableblends.com/"><font color="#743399">Noteable Blends Coffee Cart</font></a> . . . Serving <a href="http://paretorealty.co/"><font color="#0066cc">Pareto Realty’s </font></a>custom blend.</p><p>As time passed, no-one hesitated doing what they came to do . . . make contact with PEOPLE and build relationships. It was as if everyone present was thirsty for human interaction and this conference served as veritable “bottomless wellâ€.</p><p>The opening was scheduled to start @ 9 AM . . . but holding true to “Whenever it starts is the right time†I couldn’t bring myself to interrupt the natural flow of engagement that was happening . . . until @ 9:45 when I sensed a lull and rang the bell <img class="wp-smiley" alt=":-)" src="http://s2.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif?m=1293299747g"> </p><p>We had no shortage of topics (35) and were heading to the first sessions just 35 minutes after I began the opening . . . From No agenda to FULL agenda in 35 minutes with @ 100 folks.</p><p>The day flowed beautifully . . . Everyone was FULL of energy and dynamic.</p><p>At lunch, we had the <a href="http://nashvillehayriders.com/"><font color="#0066cc">Nashville Hayriders</font></a> playing Bluegrass (with some surprise guest singers) in the courtyard and a caravan of food trucks <a href="http://www.thegrilledcheeserietruck.com/The_Grilled_Cheeserie/Welcome_To_The_Grilled_Cheeserie.html"><font color="#743399">The Grilled Cheeserie</font></a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Latin-Wagon/161166600579962"><font color="#743399">The Latin Wagon</font></a>, and <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/pizzabuds"><font color="#0066cc">Pizza Buds</font></a></p><p>Following lunch . . . I think the “sessions†multiplied as groups seemed to splinter off in all directions . . . There were little clusters of people EVERYWHERE . . . Seemingly just a field of bumblebees and butterflies, and space in the courtyard provided lots of little nooks and crannies.</p><p>As the day neared the end, I walked about checking the pulses of the participants . . . Excitement was high . . . Many were SURPRISED by what happened in that short period of @ 6 hours . . . New connection were made and much was learned by all.</p><p>Let’s chalk this event up on the board as a SUCCESS!</p><p>I think this is a good start towards fortification of Nashville, TN’s economy.</p><p>We’re already starting to think about the “2nd Annual Nashville Real Estate Consortiumâ€</p><p><img class="wp-smiley" alt=":-)" src="http://s2.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif?m=1293299747g"> </p><p>PS – $500 will go to each of the 3 charities we designated – <a href="http://www.habitatnashville.org/"><font color="#743399">Habitat For Humanity Nashville</font></a>, The <a href="http://www.realtor.org/government_affairs/rpac"><font color="#743399">REALTOR Political Action Committee</font></a>, and the <a href="http://disasterrelief.realtracs.com/"><font color="#743399">Rising Hope Disaster Relief Fund</font></a>
