Higher Logic has helped Missouri REALTORS ® with building community since April 2012 — that’s when the organization launched its original community, THE LANDING. Since then, Missouri REALTORS ® has watched its member community grow and evolve. We went from over 400 to 200 communities (most of which were for Missouri REALTORS ® various committees). An ambassador program has been a dream of mine since I started working with Missouri REALTORS ® three years ago.

Missouri’s largest city is far from the only municipality that’s investing in hotels as a way to win new event business. Cities looking to expand their convention presence are finding that the missing link to more event business is the number of available hotel rooms.
