Conference Costs:
The fixed costs (speaker fees and travel, AV, etc.) of the Board and Sharegroup meetings will be totaled and divided among all member firms and billed in advance. Firms will receive a bill for 1/46th of those costs a few weeks prior to the meeting. Participation costs for meals, social events, spouse/guest events, etc. will be billed following the meeting.

2011 NARM conference costs were approximately $732 per person including Sunday, Monday and Tuesday night social events (does not include the cost for hotel room and travel expenses). This year's costs could be higher and are dependent on the number of participants.
