The Agents and Abstracters Forum provides an unparalleled opportunity for small agents and abstracters to meet with your peers and freely exchange ideas, experience and opinions on issues that affect your business today. The agenda is developed by title agents, for title agents. The discussion flows freely since there are only agents in attendance. Come and join in the discussion of major issues of the day that affect ALTA members. As always, spouses/guests are most welcome.
There are five opportunities for you to participate in these Forums this year. They will be in Oklahoma City, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Boston and Minneapolis. On the evening prior to each meeting, there will be an optional "pay for your own" group dinner onsite at the hotel. The Forum will begin on at 8:30 a.m. with a continental breakfast and the meeting will start at 9 a.m., with a working lunch, concluding at 4 p.m., so those who are traveling can get home that evening. Each Forum will have a different speak for the morning session, and the afternoon will be filled with a roundtable discussion on the topics of interest as selected by the attendees. These topics have included the following recently: competition in a small market; using social media to drive business; hiring and firing issues; the effects of cancelled orders in profits; and the CFPB’s proposed combined mortgage disclosures. These topics change each time so those in attendance get to discuss what’s most important to them.
Business casual attire is appropriate throughout this event.
