SUMMARY:Tour Information Panel - Why Get Involved?
DESCRIPTION:More Information to Come! \n\n\n\nGood afternoon NARI Family\,\n\nI know many of you have been weighing whether to invest in submitting a home for this year's Tour\, so I wanted to share some important updates.\n\nWe have rescheduled the tour to April 3rd & 4th\, 2027. The date was changed for several reasons. Some builders had homes that were almost ready\, but not quite in time to have photography available for the tour guide. A minimum of eight homes is required for a successful and relevant tour.  Additionally\, the Austin NARI fall calendar is quite full\, and this adjustment will help reduce the pressure on builders' time and resources toward year end.  \n\nTo support next year's planning\, we will host a General Membership Tour Information Panel Meeting on November 11 to generate interest and answer questions from prospective first time entrants. Members who have hosted Tour homes will discuss the experience\, costs\, preparation\, and resulting client interest from their previous tour entries. At that time we will also present changes the tour committee has implemented for the next tour\, including using Eventbrite for our ticketing platform\, a dedicated page on the Austin NARI website with an interactive map\, lower ticket pricing with new purchasing options\, increased social media investment\, and new promotional partnerships. We anticipate this will help build a larger list of participating homes\, resulting in a more compelling experience for attendees.\n\nPlease make note of these relevant dates:\n\nNovember 11\, 2026: Tour Info Panel Meeting\, location TBD\n\nJanuary 15\, 2027: Tour Entry Deadline  \n\nJanuary 25: Paperwork submittal deadline  \n\nFebruary 2: First Builders' Meeting \n\nFebruary 12: Final photography and tour home summary deadline: \n\nMarch 9: Second Builders' Meeting\n\nApril 1:  Kickoff party\n\nApril 3 & 4: 21st Tour of Remodeled Homes\n\nWe hope you'll join us for the information meeting and as a tour participant!
