I normally attend, this is the first time in 5 years Maryland is returning to Ocean City and they cut off registration due to not using the convention center. Maryland requires15 hours which includes 3.0 legislative, 3.0 Brokerage Relationships and Disclosure, 3.0 ethics, 3.0 supervision, 1.5 fair housing (required classes); the remaining 1.5 hours are electives 

No more 14 hours in Florida or 18 hours in Illinois for this retired guy. Have only attended a few state conventions when active.

I sued to attend the state conventions (and business meetings) in California, including Legislative Day in Sacramento.  Our 4 year continuing education requirements are 45 hours of CE every 4 years.  

I don't attend state conventions.  In Arizona, we need 24 credits of CE every 2 years.

No. They're basically traveling vender bazars trying to sell me all the latest shiny objects and I get better training at Buffini & Company, Ninja Sella, CRS and Career Compass. I get all my (45 hours) license renewals for free in one fun weekend with Career Compass.

It's a great place to network, get killer marketing strategies and ...renew!

Now that I am retired, I no longer attend conventions. Buzz provided the CE information for Maryland.

In 23 years in North Carolina I have never attended. Attended only one national convention and was not impressed. We need 8 hours of CE in North Carolina. 4 hours of a required update course and one elective.

Fourteen hours in Florida.  Of that, three must be ethics, three core law, and eight of anything else.

I have attended the Florida Realtors classes at the convention but did not find value in it.  Now, I only attend the trade show part, which is free.  That allows me to network.

No to conventions. I think it is 20 credits plus sexual harassment program.

In Texas we're required to have 18/hrs within 2-years! But since the pass issues this Nation been having. I've been doing all my CE via ZOOM. I sure miss the classroom settings, was a great way to network with fellow agents!!!

1. I have before, I have no interest in doing so again.

2. 30 for a broker.

I usually do not. I'm very selective about what I attend. We need 8 hours each year. Four is a mandatory training and 4 is an elective. We also have to do an ethics course every few years. Of course, I do more training that what is required by CE.

The last one I attended was so bad, I have gone back.   The class on technology I wanted to take didn't even talk about technology, and the venue they chose had terrible sound.

I do not attend Realtor conventions in my state. 

45 hours to renew my license in California - every four years. 

I used to be active as a member of our local association Board of Directors and member of California BOD. As such I attended state meetings and national meeting. I enjoyed doing so. When I termed out of my Board seat, I stopped attending. 

45 hours every 4 years which training I do on-line.

Before I retired, I tried to attend most of the State Conventions but only attended one National Convention.

Licenses must be renewed every 2 years in Washington state:
30 total credits
3-Hour Core Curriculum Class plus
27-Hours of Electives.

Yes, I will be attending this year's UAR Convention in Park City and 18 hours of education are required (every 2 years) and must be approved by the state plus an ethics course every other year.

I seldom miss a Realtor convention, was attending them for 20 years before I became a Realtor.

For continuing ed I generally attend these 18 hours online.

No as they tend to be a flea market of vendors and I don't like crowdds. In MA we need 12 CEU's over 2 years

No, even though they are "fairly" close by, I have never seen a point in attending them.

In California we have to test on 45 hours of material every 4 years (2 years for newly licensed agents).  I emphasis the test on material part as we are not actually required to sit in a class for that long.  That is  VERY common misconception.  The law only requires testing on the material.

I do mine online.

We are getting a new requirement next year for an interactive "implicit bias" training class.

no attending, we have to have 36 hours every 4 years for our broker's license.  I have to have an additional 60 (some very specific) hours for my instructors license.  I do attend the Georgia Real Estate Educators Association meeting/convention annually.

Never been to a convention. There are plenty of local training opportunities locally.

I'm a broker in California and Hawaii.  California's renewal is every 4 years and Hawaii every 2 years.  I've gone to Hawaii's conventions (who wouldn't if it's at the Hilton Hawaiian Village?). It's actually good to get to know all the vendors participating because it's such a small community.  Suggest skipping the looong lunch and it's speeches and go jump into the ocean for a refreshing swim instead. 

Not anymore.  24 hours in AZ for agents 30 for brokers

45 credits every 4 years for license renewal. I haven't attended a state Realtor convention in a number of years.

Yes! I always attend (in person) annual State REALTOR Conventions. In addition, I attend (in person) our annual TEXAS REALTORS Winter Meetings in Austin. For renewal (every 2 years/in person) I need to take 18 hours of approved CE: 8 hours of Legal Update 1 and 2, 3 hours of contract-related courses, 7 hours of elective CE. Also, 6-hour of Broker Responsibility as part of my CE and in between renewals, I take additional CE classes offered as many as possible. FYI new agents renewing for the first time must have a total of 270 qualifying CE hours 4 hrs Legal 1, and 4 hrs Legal II prior to renewal.  

I used to attend every state convention. Good way to meet the people and see Alaska. We used to have good conventions, but they have gone ta little sideways 

20 hours every 2 years here in Alaska. 

No, never have, never will.  I attended one Superstar Retreat and that was enough for me.  I AM A GREAT SALESPERSON hahahaha

The past conventions were fun. productive and intriguing. Today, not so much. As to the credits needed, I just jump through the hoop presented at the time

I used to attend conventions, they had a spring and fall event here in Colorado, but they have been very poorly attended the past dozen years or so. in early 2000 there would be 10K agents show up, now they are lucky to get 200 - I rented a booth in 2019 and I doubt I saw more than 50 agents, mostly title reps that had their own booths just bopping by - 

As for credits, we need 24 every 3 years, and that includes a 4 hour annual update course that must be taken every year, the other 12 hours can be electives in anything else the agent wants. Our company offers all the FREE CE classes an agent wants, as we prefer them to be as educated as possible.

We haven't had in person conversions, or EXPO's, as they've been called here and those were not at the state level, more local. I liked to attend to get a morning and afternoon CE class in, reconnect with colleagues over a nice lunch, enjoy the trade booths, etc. In CT we need 12 hours of CE plus NAR Ethics. 6 credits of 3 each are mandatory (usually law and fair housing) and 6 are electives, again 3 hrs each.
